Can't wait to see the manifold for this

First thought was thats a bit substantial to support a turbo...after seeing the size of the turbo I think some gussets are required

Can't wait to see the finished product, keep it up!!

You can have 1 wastegate still, you'll just have to have 2 pipes off each set of collectors going into 1 pipe going to the wastegate

[ex-ctr]

i did think that then realised link the divided pipe together and ruin the twin scroll affect

Bollocks, sorry about that mate. I wonder if Disco Toms plate was threaded

Couldn't tell you mate. I don't if it was recall when I looked at it and Jez ended up fitting it anyway.
