Default DIY turbo manifold

since the search archive is not working at this time. I'll have to repost, where can I get the T's and elbows from? Is there anywhere else cheaper than mcmaster.com? they have it listed for $13.75 for the T's. I vaguely remembered someone mentioning that they bought there's for $6-7. Also, anywhere cheap for a dseries flange? Thanks

they are about the same price everywhere I can find... some people have said they found them cheaper at local plumbing supplies, but when I checked they were still about the same.. maybee a little less.. i think I pay $12 for the T's. but then there is tax

The stainless is cheaper than the mild steel pieces.

You can weld stainless with a MIG, but you need the correct wire and a diff tank of gas. Some people I know weld it the regular way with mild steel wire/filler rod, and it seems to work fine but your welds discolor like the flanges will and rust if left sitting a long time.
