Turn up the amps a little bit (maybe only 10amps) and go slower and use larger circles to allow the welds to penitrate the tubing more.

that would be awesome.

whitey rice.. are you serious? If so no, the manifold can't use all those different type of turbo's. It depends on what flange you ask for. If you ask for a Garret T3 flange you'll be able to use T3's T3/4, etc.

the usual problem with the typical t3 flanges is that they are not tall/wide enough for the volvo circular cutout, chrysler offset bolt pattern, and t4 pattern. if it were big enough, you could have room for all of the bolt patterns.

Re:New Manifold Design!
The flange we are making is going to be tall/wide enough and drilled and tapped for all the bolt patterns. the port for the turbine inlet will be for a T3 Turbonetics (which is 15% larger than the Garrett) so if you want maximum preformance you will need to port match the manifold for a T4. If you are using a Garrett T3 you may want to port match the Turbine inlet of the Turbo for it as well. Due to bolt hole overlap, the Mopar and T4 Bolt holes will be reduced from 10MM to 8MM (perhaps all bolt holes will be 8MM). This is the best compromises available for this sort of flange.
