hey guys is any one intrested in turbo manifolds?
will be made to look like the one in the pic. though im pretty sure they would only fit the 1k's but will make some to suit the 1200's if there is enough intrest
will be made to suit t2 style flange but can also be made it to suit any flange if they are readily available
they will also be sandlasted then painted in black heat paint but can also paint in diferent colours if they are available
starting the price at $450 excluding postage
postage wouldnt be over $50 to get it right across australia
pm or post up if you are intrested in one
pics

Yeah maybe.....

i would like one but i wouldnt pay 500 for something that looks like that for that price you could get it bent and made out of stainless not those bodgy welds every cople of inchers maby if it was 150 of so cheers mate

ok mate i hope you like to pay 500 on top of the stainless to get someone to tig it together

if it's 1K friendly I could bee keen..

that was 500 to make a turbo manifold intercooler piping intake setup materials and lobor so i think that is quite reasnoble and out of stainless

mate your a complete dick it costs around 150 for all the materials to make just my turbo manifold an its just mild steel then you have all the time into making it well over a days work if you do it properly. if you can get the materials in stainles to make a turbo manifold, inlet manifold and all the intercooler piping then get it bent to your specifications THEN all of it welded up and all this comes to 500 please let me know so i can get one made

and please, show us a picture of this manifold, made from mandrell bent one-piece heavy gauge stainless, that you can get for what you say you can.....

The 'bodgy' welds can be cleaned up as you go along Phil. You'd use a file, dremel tool or a cutting bit to take the welds down to make them all smooth.

$500 is pretty reasonable but I'm sure Brent would adjust the price depending on the demand.

Considering how much an Aussie welder gets paid and how much work has to go into it, and how much buttweld fittings cost, I'd say it's a hard line to make a decent profit from. I've been thinking about doing this for a while as well!

Jake got some made up and sold for $300 - 330 and I thought that was quite a good price considering. Well I didn't see a big margin when I thought about the costing. But he did it more for the provision of such a useful part rather than for financial benefit.

Brent maybe take the time to talk to Jake (frankthedolphintrainer) about making big orders up and what his experiences were. Real helpful guy.

clyons8 you are on the money, if i get enough orders i will lower the price to say $400 inc postage?
also jakes manifolds are of good quality and are great for the budget builder on a relatively stock motor but his manifolds uses three times less buttweld fittings and a simpler design (less bends going everywhere) so this is the reason of my price being higher
