Heres what they look like on the inside.

A couple of the inside of the collector. Not the best of pics. This is before i die grind it out and reweld with a smaller bead and add the external wastegate.






And a boost pipe,

Not quite on the same scale, but this is going on a 1.3

It will be braced when the downpipe is finished, its still also got to have the wastegate takeoff adding.

I've made a zetec manifold in the past.
