Not an insert but there race cover. Badass turbo. He would be smart to keep it and run it!

There's one for sale in the FD classifieds right now, too, if anybody is looking for a quality manifold at a decent price.

I'm using a Gato manifold with a bw s471 and have zero complaints.

Quality is superb and places the turbo exactly where I want it.

$900 is the price for dual WG or single.

Worth every penny if you ask me.

in comparison to what? ebay branded stuff?

He makes it the way you want it to be made. I think that's a pretty fair price for something made to your specifications/needs.

If you're referring to the below manifold, looks like you get what you pay for... Mild steel tubing, shitty welds and a questionable WG runner design? meh

The Turblown manifold is stainless tubing with mild steel flanges.

According to the only vendor site I can find, $641.

The pictured manifold above is what is "in stock".

I've seen other manifolds by Gato but what does a custom, T4 divided with single 60mm WG runner cost?

Gato
No cheapo crappy welds on the the Gato manifolds. I paid $680 shipped for mine. Here is another pic:



Turblown one is really nice as well.

the gato manifold looks just fine to me. I have seen worse. so the gato should hold up just fine. if you want perfection and have money to spend. turblown is the answer.
