We are at 25 orders now. So total on the manifold ALONE before freight is $500.
All turbo kits are now $600 off too for everyone who has not received any parts.
Only 5 spots are left at this price.
We are placing an order for an additional 25 manifolds for everyone else who does not enter the group buy so they will be in stock here.
We are working on the time frame for the group buy batch.

This group buy is now closed. Everyone who has deposited is in. We are technically over 30, but I saw this coming and increased our first batch to 50 manifolds. We are in the process of calling everyone in this group buy.
We are starting a 2nd group buy for the remaining 19 kits, however this second one is for a manifold + EFR turbo, or full kit only.

We should have all 50 manifolds in 3 to 4 weeks from today( 9/11/2015)

I finally got to see mine in person. WOW! This is a beautiful piece of work. Showed it off to a few other car guys and they all agreed that this is the nicest shorty manifold for the FD that they have seen.
I am so glad I got in on this. Hoping to get the install and such completed around December, but more likely in the July/August time-frame.

We have not received the manifolds yet. We have been over promised many times when we would receive them. Suppose ably they are all finished. So at this point in time we just have to hang tight until they arrive. Everyone will know when we get them, and everyone will be getting tracking when they ship.

While we still wait for the manifolds, we have made some improvements to the full kit. We switched over from the stamped WG brackets, to a CNC billet Adapter that allows the use of the BW brackets. This allows the use of the turbosmart IWG actuators to be bolt in, and more precise fitment of the actuator itself. Not to mention the BW brackets are ribbed for increased strength. We also changed the oil drain to allow fitment of the OMP, and both flanges are now O-ringed. In addition to that the flange that meet the front cover has more space for the front cover stud nuts. This makes installation a lot easier. We also moved to mass production on the cooling lines, and the oil feed lines are now one piece. This allows more room for the FPR on some fuel systems. Lastly we have dialed in the mold for the Inconel T4 gasket to fit the flanges a lot closer with no over-hang.

We got them! We are in the process of test fitting each one, and checking them all for flatness, and correct thread pitches etc. We will be calling everyone tomorrow, and sending everyone tracking etc. All of these are sold, but we are going to get another batch of 50 started next week.

We have been handing checking each unit for fitment and flatness. So far we have shipped 12, and should do another 15 hopefully by monday.
Even though there are some light hand blemishes on some of the units, all of these units are a lot flatter than our welded/ belt sanding flat units. Generally the belt sanding units are .0025" flat, and these are less than .0015" flat on the flanges.
We also learned these fit the pro jay typhoon system! 9180 IWG going on this FD..
