manifold adapter will it hold?
Hey sup guys this is my first post here
I bought a manifold and it fits great on the block but the turbo comes with a internal wg so it hits the block. I made a adapter , that rotate the turbo 30degree. I wonder if this adapter can hold the heat and weight, what do you guys think bout it?
The pipe is mandrel bend exhaust, 13gauge or .09375 inch thickness
Both 2 flanges is steel plate pure homemade 1/4thick
This has not been installed yet and im goin to make a bracket attached to the block to support the turbo if it cant hold long.
It looks like this: Picture002.jpg?t=1198042261
many thanks.

Re: manifold adapter will it hold?
I used an adapter like that with an HF mani, except I used a piece of 2.5" sch40 steel elbow with 3/8" flanges. It's worked fine, and even with the low oil drain, it didn't leak any oil. The key is the run the right size restrictor in your feed line.
Yours looks a little thin (14ga elbow?), but the welds look good. Just make sure to use gaskets, since 1/4" can warp enough to create leaks. But hopefully you welded it while bolted down... :P
