piXXX of the 1337ness custom mani (lovefab + burns stainless = teh s3XXX)
Old: the "oh hey, there's some spare piping laying around, lets try to make a manifold, omg i cant believe it worked" manifold that actually turned out pretty decent
put down 508/360 @ 24psi, 430/300 @ 18 on the SC63 Ptrim...
respectable no doubt. would make probably 99% of the ppl happy out there but..manifold eventually cracked and i had a burns collector collecting dust so i contacted cody @ lovefab and he was down to do it, so that brings us to piXXX time
took a while, but hey thats custom work for ya...well worth the time tho.
also in pix: 35R, 3" dp
not shown: bracing (manifold is 16gau)

Man U FTW
with topmounts like this, how do you guys keep the oil return from either melting or getting the oil ridiculously hot? You would almost need an oil cooler after making the return line run next to the manifold for such a long distance. Just a thought because i'm looking at options for my next setup

Re: (Schister66)
im sure temps within the turbo housing are much higher than any heat the oil would take in from radiant heat from the runners. lotsa ppl heat wrap the line.
i havent actually gotten around to running the oil/water lines yet, so when i figure something out, ill post it lol

16 guage is pretty light; this is no heavier than a traditional ramhorn manifold or the equivalent.
What Ive got going on now will weigh a ton...
