Looks like the ones found on e-bay. I've heard both negative and positive about them. Do a search, I'm sure you can find something on this.

Sorry Dude,
Theese are NOT the garden varaity ones founf on E-bay !
Theese are custom made at my shop on a jig made specifically for Fd's w/ singles.
Will accomodate the largest of tubos with NO INTERFERENCE.
I have many years of development buried into this designe.
Tubes made out of heavy wall cold rolled mild steel, engine side flanges are 3/8" Hi-Carbon plate, Turbo inlet flange is 1/2" Hi-Carbon w/ threaded holes & studs included.
Primaries are "Equal" lenth, & correctly sized ID for promoting hi exhaust velosity.
This designe promotes low lag, & with "divided" Turbine inlet, virtually NO LAG.
I provide most common WG. flanges, or can weld in a provided one if diferent from what we have.
It comes in a "Black" 2200 degree CERAMIC coating, or a "Chrome" 1800 degree Ceramic is available at an additional nominal cost.
We provide LIFE TIME REPLACEMENT WARRANTEE against manufactiring defects or cracking.
Note: Although we use the best "Ceramic Coater" in town, I cannot garrantee exfoliation of the coating. All coatings fail in time eventually due to "Thermal Fatigue"
If looking for a cheap common Turbo Manifold, Theese are NOT IT .

What I think he's referring to is that the pictures on the Turbocalculator.com seems identical to the ones found on ebay.

eBay:



Turbocalculator.com:

Or, just coincidence that you both have the same decorating styles .

I think I need glasses too.

So what is the difference between the first picture on this Ebay ad:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...959015014&rd=1

And this picture on the Turbo Calculator website?
http://www.turbocalculator.com/view-...ct=004-001-006

Maybe I am a complete novice here, but not only do the manifolds look the same, but the table cloth looks the same, the shadows look the same, the glare looks the same, and the reflection of the person taking the picture is in the same spot.

There is no way that guy is serious... those are the exact same manifold. There is no difference.

I must be blind, or something!!!

Totaly agree w/ Evil.
Those manifiolds on E-bay ARE the same
They bare NO resemblence with this one:

This one is availavle through CLR. Motorsports out of Miami Fl.
A description of this Manifold was posted above earlier under: "Sorry Dude".........
Sorry for the confusion.
