Looks nice and straight near the exhaust ports-from what I understand that is ideal.

The car this is going on I have no idea but, I would say that it is overkill for the street. More a highway or drag car

I think "too much for the street" is a relative thing, you wont be able to squirt through traffic that's for sure. There is no kit, just a manifold at the moment. I may do some kinda kit but the demand just isn't there fo such a large turbo kit.

Wastegate is actually a HKS 60mm unit.

Sean it looks real good. We'll have it on in a couple of weeks and let you know how it works. And they say size doesn't matter. Ralph

Actually, thanks for the pics. It makes me realize all the great fab work I am going to drull over when my kit arrives. Keep up the good work. It's like the saying goes; all good things come to those who wait.

By the way, these new HKS wategates gonna come with the GT40r kit

Mike

This is a street setup. Hopefully we just add a lot of fuel
and we can get this thing to boost 30-40 psi, well see!!
Also a little nitrous might be in order for those special times. Sean you did a great on the manifold,
we couldn't ask for anything better.

Nice work. Wastegate tubes are done correctly. It's nice to see a maniflod made properly for a change.

It still wasn't done the way I wanted with those runners being equal length also, but it need to keep the AC lines and stuff so I ran out of room.
