Interesting that you ran the plumbing for the waste gate forward. Are you sure you wont have packaging problems? I guess you venting to the atmosphere.

schwass

it was designed by the guy who is doing the build on my car. no the waste gate is plumbed back in to the dump pipe or i wouldnt be able to get a warrant lol if you look at the pic of it clamped in the vice you can see it plumbing back in. everything is fitting in well so far!

Elombard

Oh now I see it. Beautiful piece.

Sexy.

Just the manifold by itself, I'm guessing $1500 USD.

schwass

$3750 nz $ totally worth it as far as i am concerned! they did an awesome job on the rest of my exhaust to. am contemplating on getting them to make me a surge tank can anyone tell me if there is a place for a surge tank to be fitted under the car? of topic slightly sorry.

turbotoaster

eeek i hope that included the wastegate and full exhaust for that money!!

schwass

nope that was just the manifold the whole exhaust cost me round figures of 5g and that didnt include the wastgate! lol the rest of the job looks awesome as well. oh there was a heat shied in that price to!

$3750 nzs is $2700 usd. that is one expensive manifold.

schwass

i like there work it looks and seems excellent. they have never mucked me round so i dont mind paying for a good service would recommend them to anyone. but i guess if you were on a tight budget you might wanna price around. the first guy priced me 1200 nz$ for the same thing but he had car for like 4 months and never did anything so i moved car to herberts. i wonder what sort of job i would have got for the 1200 haha

Looks real nice

turbotoaster

probably the same thing, hell we get *** raped in the uk for work compared to the US and even here it would have cost $2000nz MAX and that includes a 5in downpipe!

schwass

they even made the flanges they are 16mm thick! and the stainless tube is high grade with a 2mm wall. its way better than anything available on the market here and i guess you get what you pay for lol
