Not very different as there are several manifolds out there that look similar. But you did a good job

Thanks, there is another design that is close but I switched things up a tad. Its hard to make anything brand new in this market.

Heed these words of wisdom from CEO Dan Nordstrom, "You don't get paid for innovation …," Mr. Nordstrom says. "You get paid for execution."

just make reliable manifolds with a quick turnaround and you'll be fine

Good work, turn around time is pretty good, about a week to 3 days depending on what he is building.

It sits pretty low on the ones I have made just like that. i ended up with about a 70* bend off the oil drain (t3) and then back to the pan about 1" below the flange.

A ram horn manifold sits the turbo just about that low... if not lower, because the collecter is 1'' longer.

You're right, its been a long week. Its not that low though, there are a few other manifold design out there that puts the turbo just as low.

Yep, same thing I said.

Thanks guys, working on 3 more manifolds that will be done soon. Ram manifold will be one in the works and I'll post some pics of that and the collector.
