Has anyone had issues with getting a neukin manifold recently? Ordered from him in the past with success, like two weeks. Been 6 weeks now. No phone number is posted on their website.
So when manifold was ordered 6 weeks ago, all it needed was a wg flange welded on. Then two weeks ago, all it needed was porting, but air compressor motor blew up. Now today, UPS busted a box of elbows and did not want to ship to him....although two weeks ago, all it needed was porting, but then again, 6 weeks ago all it needed was the wg flange welded on.

Just thought I'd update the thread.
Sounds like what I went through with Peakboost before he ran off with a lot of people's money. Just make sure you file your claim before the window closes. I lost a lot of money because I was being patient and nice.
Do you work there? I see you are located in the same town. I haven't talked to him since Thursday. Just sucks having his car sit in the shop twice as long as expected. And makes me not want to recommend customers order from there.
Well it didn't get out yesterday, he stated he had to leave shop early to go vote. Customer got a picture today of an unfinished manifold that still needs some welding before being sent out FEDEX today according to Neukin; and it doesnt sound like hes shipping it 2-day. 8 weeks to supposedly just weld on a wg flange to start with....
Finally received manifold on Tuesday 11-15-16. Hangs way way low. Not sure if the Go Autoworks is like that too, but the bottom of the center oil section of the turbo (for the drain) is parallel to half way down the oil pan length....and you still need some sort of a slope and thats not even taking into account the width of a return flange/machined fitting once bolted onto the turbo.
No bueno... I would say your fubard... bout as low as can go before issues arise... Drain has to be high enough on pan... and slope has to have just that... a slope....
Only thing I could think of is to clock it so there is angle on the drain... yes not ideal and yes too much would obviously have a drain issue... common sense needed...
Yeah, center section clocked to 15 deg; as best as it gets. Now I remember why I stopped working on low budget street builds for customers. The main concern is always money with these types of builds.

neukin manifolds
I ordered a manifold from him like 10 years ago. Transaction was good. Good luck with this.
