D_Venable Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 take the manifold, copy it with proper materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starquestJOE Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 thats what im leaning toward. but i really dont like how close the turbo is to the head. im thinking build one copy, then build one the way i want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starquestJOE Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 anyone have a d-50 manifold i could use? non-turbo is ok right? got it all apart yesterday. the rest of the manifold is holdin up fine for now. i'll re-weld the wastegate back on and brace it with 2 straps from the turbo flange to the waste gate flange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
