Re: my turbo TSX project
I did a custom kit for a lot of reasons like, the fact that they don't make a sidewinder manifold for the TSX, it cost me half the price or less then a name brand one, my kit will be one of a kind, why buy it if you can make it. I can answer a lot more why's but you get the point.

Re: my turbo TSX project
schedule 10 stainless steel material. the manifold probably cost me around $400-$500 in material. the tricky part was figuring out which runner to weld first and last. it was worth it. i just got done welding up a short runner "log style" manifold for a EP3. that was a tight fit.
