Here is my turbo manifold i made. I had a annoying exhaust leak and it appeared to be coming from the manifold so i pulled it off and just finished re welding a few spots on it. It will be painted with 2000 degree high heat paint before it gets put back.

Its kind of a crude manifold, but it works. I made it a few years ago and i believe somewhere on here are pictures of how it was before the air conditioning. I didnt want to start all over on a new manifold so i just re worked this one and it came out alright i suppose. It works and besides for a small crack that developed in one of the welds it hasnt ever leaked in the few years its been on. Attachments:

It looks like a very well made manifold to me. It looks like there is a fitting in the bottom of the manifold. Is that the place to put an exhaust temperature probe?

yes the fitting is for a egt gauge. i had it tapped into the stock manifold with no turbo and it would hit 1400 pretty easily. with the turbo(previous turbo) the hottest I got was 1260. with the current turbo before I played with the fuel a little bit the hottest I got was 960, now with fuel turned up just just a tiny bit it gets up to about 1150 with very minimal black smoke during acceleration and none when cruising unless going up a hill.

Very nice manifold. I expected 1300-1400* egts with my pump turned all the way. Guess I'll find out when it's running. You're running an intercooler correct? Water/meth?

I had a intercooler before i put the air conditioning on, but i had to take it off to put the condenser in. The intercooler only helped my egts about 100 to 150 degrees give or take. No water/meth.
