      Only place I'll recommend in Wisconsin is Late Model Throttle. TJ took me there, and they are legit as fuck. and the price is decent.

          I've ordered a bunch of stuff from there. Thanks for the dyno tip! I'm trying to buy a tig welder real soon with my dad.. Should be fun. I can make my manifold ;)

                Yea we have mig welders. We have always only used mig welders. At the machine shop there is a whole slew of miller welders that are beautiful, but I can only really go there after hours and on Sunday.

                  I love welding stainless :) I just need to learn how to do aluminum with tig! I can tig pretty well on everything but aluminum.

                      A Manifold is one hell of a piece of work! Lots of crazy bends and such.

                      Not saying you.can't do it, just saying they are art!

                        Yes they are.

                        Also, you know how to weld stuff to cast pieces right Rowley?

                          Yes I do to an extent. It doesn't turn out the best! Why exactly? Also, the manifold I would do would be pretty easy, and almost like a log manifold. kind of like the cast spa manifold?

                            That's for a 4 cylinder son. UEL (Unequal length headers) are so chincy man. Go for equal length (or close) which means you're gunna have to add bends and wrap pipes around others. But it'll be worth it in the end, if done properly.

                            Also, the key to welding onto anything cast, is to heat it up, heat it up really good with a torch, then weld to it.

                              Well duh I can count cylinders man! But yea. Unequal length. Who cares. I'm more into transient response of a log type manifold. Keep the runners short as possible, and the flow decent. Good enough for me! And yes I've heated up cast for welding before.

                                word! I know what you're saying. as long as you keep the flow good, you should be golden.

                                  or if you wanted you can just buy an M50 exhaust manifold flange, and weld to that, instead of a cast piece. It'd look 10x better, and would make welding alot less painful.

                                  Posted Image

                                  if you're going with a simple set up like this:

                                  Posted Image

                                  Weld a piece of metal rod from the Exhaust manifold to the turbo manifold, if you don't, over time the heat from the exhaust combined with the weight of the turbo/exhaust pipe pulling against it, will eventually crack it. Might as well save yourself the trouble.

                                  Picture found.

                                  Disregard his honda retardation.(the hole in the manifold) But the support bracket is shown.

                                  Posted Image

                                  This little bracket (I suggest you put in two for safety's sake) will be a life saver. If you don't, that shit can warp, and crack or worse yet, completely warp and droop touch something else in the engine bay, and catch your car on fire. (little extreme, but it can happen)

                                    Yup yup! That manifold is exactly what I am going for. I just need to order up some stainless.. I'm probably going to go to the machine shop and have them cut me a flange for free ;) I just need the specs and then I can get it.
