First of all for Ten box, I will never do a more beautiful manifold then that
. An ugly manifold for an Old iron pig... It's not a showroom trucks ... So... why do it cute... I don't put blacklight inside the hood to show my rusty B motor with 80hp... My Hyundai accent 2002 with 1.6 16v have more HP then my truck
I need a turbo to turn my 33'' wheel that I want. So I do it cheap but tuff enought. I have a familly, 2 car, an house.. wife, son , etc.. I don't have money to paie 500 box for a turbo manifold.
For now... ht18-2s turbo 100$
waste gate 50$
manifold home made 10$
3.8l tunderbird intercooler 50$
water tube, oil tube 50$
pvc tube 20$... with that I will run 33'' tire
Ugly or not... whatever you say The hood close... you can pay 3000$ for your turbo.. but if you do the same thinks then me... why do you pay 3000$ for your setup.
Thanks for all other's that help me, My manifold will be maybe the ugliest one but it's will work héhé
