He can afford to boost his beemer and he's using a Fram filter. Some people's priority's.... Manifold looks good and a big fatty holset. What is that thing anyways...HX50 or something?

Collector looks like it would cause a lot less hair pulling. Looks great.

although it really doesn't look like it, there is room for a 4" dp but i won't need to worry about that since he only wants a 3". i'm not sure which holset it is but the turbine housing is a split pulse t3 flange... the flange looks so small for how big it is

this was the second bimmer manifold i built. there was nothing wrong with the first one, other than the fact that it was a pain in the *** to build compared to this one since i had a fixture to place the flanges in the same spot. yes, the collector was much easier to do on this one and turned out better inside as well.

Meaning twin scroll, split turbine housing? Why didnt you split the collector?

Looks great though. I just started TIGing 2 nights ago. I cant wait till i have the confidence to build manifolds and critical components, rather body work.
