See the title? That's the difference between "art" and a "manifold". It's clearly abstract art right now. haha. just teasing.

Looks good, I would have cleaned up the pipes some before welding though. Oh and I like the turbo rzr S in the back. I got the std rzr myself.

I have a Tig Art B series Honda manifold to fit the twin scroll EVO turbo

It's used but still looks awesome, I can't wait till my engines ran in so I can try it out :D

Do you sell the down pipes for the manifold I have still in 3" for internal WG?

Bill

You have got a nice Fronius Tig machine with the integrated water cooler as well I see. Is the AC/DC model or DC only?
I've got the Kemppi MLS 2300 AC/DC which has similarl specs to your Fronius, I just don't have a water cooler yet.
A lot of the guys on this forum (and others) don't get to see and use the European Tig machines.
