Bingo. Although one could argue that the construction methods aren't THAT different.
They do good work based on quick visual inspection of some pictures, but it doesn't look like they have much experience with our specific applications...

Equal length isn't as important with turbo as it is NA...or so "they" say.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

01-28-2013, 10:54 AM #5If they can bend heavier gauge tubing, with everything equal length, and weld a flange on the end I'd say they can make a turbo manifold

Thanks for your comments. Really appreciated and have been taken on board. There is no real difference in making a Turbo Manifold to a Normal Tubular Manifold and we have made many, although we have no pics at present to justify this. The only difference is that we fabricate them from Mild Steel rather than Stainless Steel due to costs. We can fabricate from Stainless Steel
but at a premium price. I do however have our IT man here at the moment and we will take a couple of pics of an MR2 Turbo manifold and a Mitsubishi Turbo manifold and upload them to the website. We Have recently done some development work for Axel 606 who is a member on here if that helps.
Regards
Andy

Ok,
Apologies once again. We have now uploaded the pics of the Turbo Manifolds that we have fabricated. If we can find any more we will naturally upload them. Thank you for pointing out this error.
The pics can be found on our website under the Manifold section.

The welds at the flange look a little iffy (inconsistent), IMHO...

Not to scrutize but that picture looks pretty inconsistent with the quote on the site
" straighten up that star on the grill, assholes."

01-28-2013, 12:36 PM #11"Each individual tube that goes into making our custom tubular manifolds is hand-manipulated in one piece of tube wherever possible. We avoid using bits of pipe just bent, cut off and welded together at different angles - this risks premature failure at any of these welds and perhaps more importantly, bits of weld and even the welding rod itself sticking out inside can interrupt the flow."

the guys made me a very nice reproduction of a turbo manifold adapter for my g wagen 606a fitments the quality was very good and it has had some big time egt abuse with no problems ,they did me a lovely job and i have since ordered four more ... as the first g 460 '606a' has generated quite a mini demand for more conversions and the special adapters are a vital part of the job. the ford gt40 rep tubular manifolds they make are stunning!

so, how much for a om606 manifold like this

We can fabricate a one off Manifold as pictured by Mantahead for the OM606 for £1200 + VAT, However, if there is enough interest ( Ie a Group buy ) we are prepared to negotiate pricing. We must stipulate that if this becomes the case then the price will be for one design of manifold and no variations will be possible as a jig will have to be made to do the work.
If anyone is interested please leave your names below.

I would want one for a om605 and I doubt there would be enough people to get the price down below that of kkd.
Thanks for getting back with a price though.....
As said by mantahead, some seriously nice manifolds can be had from kkd for half the price......

i was just mentioning the article in PVW , best wishes
what would be nice is if you could solve a problem for 617 owners . somehow insulate the dual manifold shared stud design . some type of two layer flange with a heat isolating gasket between in/eh possibly the exhaust manifold mating flange full length.with basically a beveled female mating ports for the intake. give the intake a bit of protrusion from its flange. so it can seat its ports and still provide 1/4" for the heat iso gasket, slap some insulating gasket between and whatever upgraded hard ware and machine tolerance improvements . i dont think if ever seen anything done with out choping up the mercedes stuff . i dont think a SS flange is even available to create your own .
no prob andy ,

01-30-2013, 03:24 PM #22Yeah, there is nothing readily available for the 617. A flange with stubs welded to it would be great

01-30-2013, 03:59 PM #23JTY's manifold was make by KKD, I'm sure they would whip you up a new one quickly enough.

A flange with stubs welded to it would be greatid love to see what a shop the ability to CAD cut some nice ss flanges can do , with slick hardware w or wo Ewg . a simple long runner log intake . at or under , preferably, under a 1000$US for the set ? at least already built om617s coul use them for big turbos
i have only seen these rare cast manifold sets here and there on forums.
