I was just wondering once you made the log part of the manifold, how did you mount the big part that goes to the turbo? Did you use a grinder and cut a big hole in the log then weld it on?

Thanx

Freak yes, i took to it with the angle grinder, at the right spot i had marked out, cut a hole, then i used my die grinder to make the hole nice and smooth around the inside of the hole so the exhaust gases would flow freely...

i then got a bit of 50mm staight pipe (the 90 degree bend is 50mm), i cut out a 'U ' into one end of it, put it over the log part, tack welded it (my old man did all the final welding for me), using a hammer, i bent the tails from the ' U ' i cut out around the log so it was sealed (well after the welding it was sealed..haha)..
then i cut the 50mm straight bit off right at the log, so there was a flat surface to weld the 90 degree peice onto...
this way it was strong, and will not (hopefully, haha) crack off..
i got a few pic's here and there, but the bloody camera battery was flat that day.. Mad

might have to have a go and get my friend to weld it up Smile

im guessing you welded all the log part first then attacked with the grinder?

this is before i made the 'U' peice, the log is tacked, and the other bit's just sitting there, before the bloody camera battery went flat...
