Side mount manifolds
I recently saw a post of this amazing turbo header. the wastegate setup is a little overkill, but I love the side mount turbo. Then I found out the price Let's just say that selling my car wouldn't cover the cost of this custom setup.
So, anyone here make side mounted turbos? obviously it has equal length primaries and they are using a merge collector (S&S Headers maybe?) to which they've welded a 90deg pipe and a turbo flange.

all that to say that you could make it out of mild steel 11 gauge tubing and ceramic coat it for way less than the 321 with similar qualities.
I might just make one to show off

YIKES, $600 just for the parts Out of my league (though certainly less than these guys wanted).
Q: I've seen 304 steel used in headers a lot. Is it because these have less aggressive bends that they work, or are turbo applications hotter? Just curious.
You should definitely make one out of mild steel 11 guage if you can. Showing off is what its all about!

Re:Side mount manifolds
I dont remember what type of stainless my manifold was made in.. He gave me 2 choices, and I went for the more expensive of the 2. The flanges are all stainless, except for the turbo flange.
My ZC plate was 50, and the Tial plate came with the valve.
We still need to make a support for it.
