Default Custom b-series headlight mount turbo manifold
Customer had wanted something to build something different and requested this. Took about a week or so to complete. Let us know what you think.

nice work

kinda looks like 1/4" plate supporting the turbo, any better pics of what you bolted it to?

btw how do flex pipes do in terms of being placed pre turbo? i see a lot of single turbo v8 guys using em, but do they retain enough heat (aka no leaking) to help spool a decent sized turbo on a 4 cylinder?

Props for not using pipe!

I'd be interested to see how that flex section preforms too.

Can you show us the wheel well shots?

Will a slick fit in the wheel well with the down pipe there?

You may have issues with that flex section. Looks good other than that!

Stock mounts + downpipe and dumptube coming out the headlight like that may be an issue

Interesting choice. The placement looks nice, but I have to wonder what will happen to that flex section at 30 psi back pressure in the manifold. They're not really a pressure holding item.

I like the ideal with the long runners and the 15 deg collectors. The only real criticism is the runners should be equal length.

Impressive
