Abaz: Can I email you a few compressed diagrams of my single turbo design when I get a scanner? I'm very interested in your local resource in the near future. ;)

I think the only way the guy I know will do something, is if it see's the item in front of him, so he really knows what he is working with.

I can send diagrams,stock headers, and the stock downpipe if he's talking about items. I'm going to start taking measurements as soon as I obtain turbocharger dimensions.

not hard to make at all if you have a drill press, 1/4 to 3/8 flat stock, ubends and jbends.. "jcwhitney has them" ,a hack saw, and a mig/tig welder.

trace the exhaust gasket onto the flat stock, drill with a bimetal holesaw on the drill press "lots of oil".
Cut your u/j bends to length/shape, tack it all up, buy a collector online at summit racing. weld it all together, use any flange you like..!

How abou if I were to go around the my area's muffler shops, and ask? It's most likely a more economical choice than going to a full fledged machine shop right?

wait a minute.
our exhaust holes are not round so u couldnt use a bi metal hole saw.

you could use a smaller hole saw then use a die grinder to make it oval.

beau is correct thats exactly whay i did mine are oval as well. your welding right there anyway so you can actually go beyond the tube into the weld to get an oval to round transition.
