Default MASSIVE thanks to Gary (CrazyCage) for my Manifold!

Would like to say a big thankyou to Crazycage for designing and making me a manifold exactly how i wanted it. Its for a zetec engine and for the turbo to be located above the gearbox. Also fitted the pipe for my wastegate.

Over the moon with it!

Looks nice.

How long does it take to make one of these manifolds?

Looks real nice. How are you going to support it as the turbo is on what is now quite a long lever.

Nice one. Got some lovely parts going into this Tom. Have you ordered a roof and what colour did you decide on for the body in the end?

Cheers Gary. And no, not sure on the roof yet Dan, i think il get the thing going first, can do the roof later. I think ove narrowed it down out of Ford Moonstone Blue or Ferrari Silverstone Grey. Still not sure. Its being painted in next weekend.

He can make it for whatever turbo you want to use. And yes the downpipe would have to be made too. Worth the extra work though, has solved my room and heat near rad issues.
