dirty cheap log manifold
Well here it is, the $25 log manifold:
Budget:
Exhaust head flange: $10
Pipe fittings: ~$15
turbo flange: Free with purchase of turbo at junkyard.
Best $25 I've spent. Going to shoot it with some High temp flat black tommorow.
It looks like ***, probably flows like ----, but it works and it's cheap.

hey, you should put some extra bracing from the turbo flange up to the runners...just for safe measure... not knocking your welds, but it would be better to brace now, then drive down the road and see your turbo behind you

I used black iron pipe fittings, not galvanized Home depot didn't have 1 1/4" black iron near me, just galvanized. So I went to another local hardware store. Homedepot near me sucks *****, their plumbing department is terrible.
I ground the threads out with a carbide bit in a die grinder.
Yeah I have some 3/4" x 1/4" strips of steel I'm probably going to brace it with. I'm sure the welds will hold fine I have plenty of welder (180 Hobart mig), but the turbo does come out at a 45* for clearance, so that adds to the stress rather than straight down. And that ---- is cast, which isn't the best to weld,
