Manifold arrives!!! Options

[KOU In3]

I'm in the home stretch on Frankenstein (yeah I know, we've all heard this before)! The modified t3/t4 manifold showed up at my door this AM. It's time to finally bolt up that 50 trim. I can't wait.

For anyone that wants a peek, I posted one in the gallery here:

Should have one soon without the wastegate flange and set-up for a Mitsu turbine housing as well for testing/comparison purposes

Now it's time for some wintertime outdoor wrenching. Woohoo

As much as I'd like to say this is my fab work, I'm more the fitment guy on the DSM end. (stumbled into it, there are plenty on here more far more qualified than me)

I can offer a little advice on the production end but don't have any real decision making power there. Most of the prototype work goes into making pieces that can support a relatively large production run. I've had a couple questions like this though so I'm checking into the possibility of getting some custom work like this done.

I do know that the cast manifold is surprisingly expensive to get into production so there would be a better chance at a tubular stainless piece. I don't want to overstate my involvement or influence here though. Shoot me a PM if you have time with some turbo Mazda forums or some numbers estimates as far as demand and I'll see what I can do if you want.
