If you want to see what the manifold will look like just print out the drawing and tape it together. I made the manifold out of 3 X 2 x 1/8 wall tubing. I taped the pattern to the tubing and cut it out with a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder. Strictly low tech equipment. The flanges were cut on a laser cutter at a local sheet metal shop. A little bending and welding and half the turbo project is done.
I have changed the turbo to a ball bearing T-28. It is much larger but still fits. I had to lose the heat shield. Also I added a Saab waste gate controller so my computer can control the amount of boost before the waste gate opens. I now limit myself to 15 lbs.
