It looks like ssautochrome crap "SUS-304 High Grade Stainless Steel"

You need 8 gauge forged stainless steel if you don't want to crack in a couple of months..

turbocalculator's manifolds are stone mountain racing aka ssautochrome, and there are many horror stories out there about them. there are guys out there who have run them forever and had no problems at all, but there are also all the guys who've had TONS of neverending problems with them. it would be up to you do research on it, and make an informed decision for yourself i guess. good luck

What would I be looking at to buy one from the company making yours?
I have the FP3052 so it is a very similar turbo.
I dont know what to do lol. No one makes a nice manifold for us it sucks ass. If not I guess I will just go with a log.

I think you should wait until I have the manifold built. you have basically the same turbo, good choice on the FP series. Have you seen the FP3575?

Yea that is a nice turbo too. I am looking to produse 500whp so I figured thsi turbo would be the fastest spooling. If i need more power it will be in the form of spray ;)

Good choice on the spray..I have a NX wet kit that is already installed waiting for its maiden voyage down the 1/4.. What size jets do you have? I have a 35 in now but I'm thinking about going bigger..

I am still in the progress of getting my car together. My MSnS is equipped to run spray but I will not be installing it until I have maxed out the turbo. Please let me know once you manifold is done I am really interested to see what they come up with. Also will they be making anymore?

I was told that he will make a prototype first for my car and then a couple production pieces if it turns out...depending on the demand.
