made this top mount turbo manifold to replace my old low mount setup. took a while to piece together then went and got it welded up linished and surface ground the flange faces. Thanks heaps to simon (sikyne) for his welders, linshers, mill and skills.

fantastic effort....

looks fantastic !!!! how long did it take for you to get from bits and peices to all welded together ?

Yes it is, the pic with the butt welds shows the talent going into this. Well done!

Why don't I see more people putting this effort into A series turbo manifolds?

nice work, looks like a bought one

what was the reason for the change to high mount?

shucks guys, thanks

it took me ages (days) but i took my time and made sure it was nice and evenish and flowed well. the finishing off was done at sikyne's workshop. i still need to die grind the inside entry of the ports to smooth them up.

the high mount will make my turbo upgrade easier, i wanted to make the air entry a little easier and wanted to design a manifold around the much hyped 'merge collector' design. gotta save the pennies for the turbo now. looking for 250rwkw

That's some welding skills! I'm well impressed.

Maybe will see the rise of "Mad-Lag"....

Dazzling effort Leigh. If it works as good as it looks you will be the horsepower king of Melbourne. [well, perhaps the neighbourhood]

the final welding was actually done by simon on his mig, mine was a little underpowered for the job. he tig welded the turbo flange on.

i can now see why maddat used to sell these for $1000+ it takes soo much time even if you have the right welders and machines! luckily time is what i have
