My Turbo Manifold is Finished!!!!
My turbo manifold is finished and all welded, including both Tial 35mm wastegates. I'm not sure I will be selling this one. I don't think I want to try to recreate this as a production part. I always seem to go overboard when making stuff for my car. The manifolds I will be selling will most likely be a bit simpler than this. Although they will still retain the crossing runners and the dual wastegates.
Anyway, here's a picture of the finished product with the turbo and wastegates bolted up. If any of you have ever seen a manifold more elaborate than this I would love to see pictures. I'm nicknaming it "Medusa".

The turbo is a 62-1 1.15a/r divided p-trim. The forward WG plumbing has about 3/4" of clearance from the strut tower/framerail and I can get it on the car with no trouble. I will post some pics of it on the car tomorrow.

Nice work, but how do you plan on plumbing the rest for the wastegates? You will vent those into the dp/exhaust some how won't you. Looks to me like the rear is to close to the dp already to fit any more piping.
Maybe I will use three wg's on my 3 rotor, lol.

We have scared numerous bums, couples, dudes on rollerblades, and unsuspecting people in bus shelters. The guy on rollerblades actually dove onto the grass.

There is room for plumbing the wastegate exhaust's, not alot but there is room.
6.5millionRWHP12a; I wish I did have a larger turbo, but what I can't afford I try to make up for with skills.

Looks Good...
Finally someone plumbed the wastegate(s) in direct flow of the exhaust. You shouldn't have any problems controlling boost with that setup.
What type of tubing and what size is that?

Oh ok... So your using pipe not tubing. You should think about having it extrode honed. The inside of it is porous right? Otherwise it looks like a nice manifold. Good primary length too...

You do very clean work......did you do all the work yourself? You obviously work at a metal fabricating shop right? If not then you have one hell of a garage
Seriously.......do you do this for a living? If not, then you should.

i don't think I need to extrude hone it, I tumbled all the parts in our huge tumblers. It makes them smooth inside and out. And the welds were gas purged, wich makes the welds lay down smooth on the inside.
