Any One Want One?
Ok well i have been talking to my fab. buddy latley and he was wanting to make a Intake manifold and a Equal Length Turbo manifold for the scions. He has been fabing stuff for VW for like 15years his stuff has made it on some of the fastest VW and also in EuroTuner mag. as soon as i can figuer out how to post pics on this site i can show you some of his work and hopefully in 2weeks i can personally let you know how great it works. As soon as i get some feed back on this and i let him know if its worth producing then we will have more on prices and time. I will let you know he is great with pricing

Pls do fabricate an EL turbo manifold to fit the TD05H-16g. I was hoping to use back the 16g as its fast spooling although it will have back pressure up top...If he makes one, I'm sold

ok i'm taking him my spare intake so he can look it over; he did say cost is looking to be (and this isn't concrete) But for an Intake manifold with bells in it will be right around $800 with polishing $900. Also to let you know the plain finsih is nice still, and it'll have Racecraft Fabrication ingrave in it. I will have more details mid week. About the Equal Length manifolds he said he will make them on only demand he saw today that there is a market already for them but i told him about the mitsu guys and he said who ever wants one he can make it. I have shown him pleanty of pictures of manifolds i am now just trying to decide on top mount manifold or bottom mount.
P.S
FULLY TIG WELDED no mig dawg thats how we roll.....
you guys that want EL manifold should help me with the decision make a poll or something but the faster we decide the fast he makes LOL

Oh its going to be made he just wanted to see what kind of feedback he would get he has seen before where a shop wil say they would make something and either they backed out or the customer would back out. But i have let him know that it is a good thing to do and i am droping off the stock one to him tonight. should see something this week or next.

A lot of companies say they are gonna make them but decide not to because they don't get people saying "I'll buy". A lot of customers (when the companies aren't asking) say "I wish someone would make one cuz I'd buy it". The truth is the first company that makes one and keeps making them is gonna sell them. If you build it they will buy.
