B18b ramhorn manifold
i made this out of an old ford racing manifold for a focus that i got off a freidn for a tank of gas for his mach 1 when it was costing $3/gallon
my welding could be better, but it's for me, doesn't need to look good to go fast
mad tyte yellow valve cover
took only about 4 hours of total work inculding ------- up once because i was fiddling around with wastegate placement.
as a side note check out what a search for 'turbo' gets you on altavista.

Re: B18b ramhorn manifold
we will have to see than, i guess you don't hold much hope for ford, i can understand.
it's made from tempered steel which is studier than the galvanized piping i used. i am confident that my welds will hold. my only further plan for it is to go at it with a die grinder to smooth all transitions to eleminate hot spots.
