I don't want to talk ---- about this manifold, but the design looks to me like a big heatsink. The best manifold, in theory, is the one that gets the most heat (energy) to the turbo, right? I may be wrong.

I really like the design.. You will get plenty of heat to the turbo. and its just sweet looking. it probably does not weigh much more than a log manifold. I would guess 10-15.. if they say 11lbs I buy it. Very nice. Up to $150 now.

No problems with heat sink, the manifold is ceramic coated. I am going to try making one from aluminum to speed up the machining process and make it lighter for performance and shipping. You won't find a faster spooling manifold. If you want to see more you can go to the website www.steedspeed.com and use the VRML animation to examine it closely. The VRML is derived from the CAD file which was used to design this manifold. You can look at the top half or the bottom half or both together (very cool!). No clearance probs, just wanted to swing the T3 forward to get the most direct shot into the turbine housing. It also allows you to keep the AC. I just put it on Ebay to see what people thought, cheap publicity for $11!! You will be seeing it in a magazine very soon, just gotta send em some more pics and a blurb.
