Me three. My manifold I MIG'd with cast steel fittings still hasn't cracked, and its carrying the turbo's full weight and has the added stress of a recirculated dump w/o a flex on it. Solid.

Re: First ever manifold - Migged log

I used a plasma cutter for that. I took the manifold off the jig and there's no warpage so I'm pretty pleased with that. Next is the wastegate flange and T3 flange. Not sure which order to do it first. Once that's done I'll completely clean up the splatter.
