Default turbo manifolds for xb2

Here is a link for a shop that makes manifolds, also there is a link to a thread they have over in the TC FI forum.

FI options for the XB2 are slowly but surely increasing.

I try calling and texting but no responses, he did email me about two weeks ago:

"Sorry for the lack of communication on my part. August has been a hecticmonth. I will not bore you with any stories or excuses. I recently just parted ways with one of my fabricators.....part of theparting(and reason)is certain kits are no longer "accounted for". I am up and running again(as of today) I have 90% of your kit ready to go.I just have to make another dp and manifold. As soon as they are done yourkit is on its way. I know its way late but I wanted to touch base and fillyou in on whats going on. You will get your parts. Talk to you soon Regards- Todd"

I emailed him again a day ago to see whats up.

You can use our tC manifold! It is VERY stout. This is the 3rd version of it, and the best yet!!

We have 3 years of Scion specific manufacturing alone and about an additional 2 years on top of that. Again, welcome.

The way i look at it is businesses like us can learn a lot from each other, im always checking out other companies and seeing what there making, how there making it, what there using, ect ect. BTW your welds look really good! I was impressed, its hard to find companies out there who actually put a lot of time and skill into there parts.
