Thanks, I'm trying trying to learn the ways and I appreciate it.

My pleasure, no secrets hear. I've been doing this for a long time and I'm still learning a ton on every project I take on. Forums help me a lot too, and I hate people with secrets.

Damn things are really scootin' along Mark! Are you going to get the motor back in the car to mock up the rest of the turbo setup or what's the plan?

You guessed it! The motor went back in the car Monday so I could fab the turbo manifold.
The manifold design turned out awesome! I’m super proud of it. The tolerances are very tight to feed the runners down to the collector to make sure there is room for a wastegate and 3-3.5” down pipe. Some

When I do manifolds I mock it up like this, fully weld the merge collected then take the runners off the head flange and collector, then fully weld each runner and then weld the runners to the head flange and collector.

Nice work Mark!

I'll have to find time to make my way over to your place and check out the work first hand. :)

I need some motivation!

Damn, I think I missed the northern train here. I need some motivation as well, when are we all heading down to Eagan? :D

I ended up welding as much as I could while it was mocked up, for the exception of the head flange and collector. Then I took out two of the runners to finish weld everything.

Thanks man. I have the week off and have been planning to squeeze as much car work in as possible. I'm running the 6266, saw a post on evom where a guy with a 2.0 running 93/meth made 720 Whp on a dynojet! Mine should do more than that.
