When do you plan on cracking the rear iron? I'm interested in seeing how much power you put down before you do.

Got everything done, still have a leak between the turbo and manifold flange. Gonna throw a thicker gasket on there and see if that fixes it. Should be all good to get tuned in 3 weeks.

Anyhow, took a couple crappy videos.

Looks good, you need to find a way to brace that turbo, while I made that thing pretty strong, I'm not so sure hanging a 48lb grapefruit juicer on the front of it will help it any

I'll shoot you some gaskets.

I currently only have 1 Aeromotive A1000. When I'm ready to go for more power, I'll get another one.

Thanks to everyone else for the compliments and for those interested in it's price prices range from $895-1400 depending on the amount of work and materials involved.

Just curious as to how long it takes you to fabricate a manifold such as this?

Depending on what is going on here at the shop as far as orders go it can be two to four weeks usually. Eric's case was a bit different as he wasn't on my order board/cue.
