What do you use to cut the square or hole in logs?
I just welded up my 2nd log mani, and instead of having a pipe extended from it to the turbo flange, I just want to weld the turbo flange right to the log. Should I cut a square in it to sink the turbo flange in it? What would you use to cut a square in it???
Or just use a hole saw and kinda fill in the gaps on the sides?

i would prob use a plasma cutter and a good hand .. or i would have cut it befor it was welded .. and use this babe to mount the turbo flange to the manifold
u can get it here .. http://www.jgstools.com
or u could prob make your own if u have acces to a mill .. its basicly just a noched round edge reqtangle stock

My work might have a plasma cutter, I forget if the welder took it with him when he retired or not. That was my first thought too, I'm going to look into that either tonight or tomorrow.

I know you like to do all your own work, but if you don't have access to a mill, a machine shop could do this for you in about an hour.
That is, if I'm thinking of the right part, I'm not sure what a log manifold is.

Now that's not a bad idea, I never even thought of that. Just take it to them with it outlined in sharpee or something, and tell them to cut it out. ****, it might be cheap, like only $20 or something too. I'll have to look into that.

Ummm unless you live in bumblefuck, you'll be hard pressed to find a shop with a rate of anything NEAR $20/hr. Your local redneck maybe.....
Most shop rates are $40/hr on the low end and $70/hr on the high end for most with the exception of a few big cities.
Just a heads up, thats all. If you can get it done for $20, more power to you
