At least I can say I didn't pay for mine. :P

If you're going to go buy one of those pieces of ----, take it straight to the machine shop and get the pateing surfaces milled. Head flange, turbo flnage and wastegate flange. They're all warped.

Re:Manifold A or B

Ok.

Are there any other manifolds out there equivalent to the shitbird tubular for around the same price, that would be an improvement over my hf/adapter plate mani?

BMC has some for around $150. I know he had a couple listed on Egay not too long ago. For $150 you can't go wrong with that manifold.

Re:Manifold A or B

u could always buy some schedule 40 tubing from www.mcmaster.com and a flange from BMC for about 75 bones. find a friend w/ a Mig welder and a bandsaw. have him/her teach you how to weld, and make a log for real cheap and learn something.

Re:Manifold A or B

The BMC mani's look like ***, no offense.

Unless I go for a tubular / external wastegate'd manifold I may as well stick with the HF mani.
