Could you change the mold so it leaves more surface like this.

Then the gate can attach here and not have to use a spacer.

or why isnt it already milled out with a block off plate or as an option to the manifold order?
with all the beautiful stuff you have built carcrafter22 i am surprised you havent done this.

great job Ron!!
 
Sweet! When are you going to run production....:bigsmile:
 
Because Ron, if they did that, maybe they wouldn't crack all the time.

That spot is right where all my aftermarket manifolds crack...sucks.


But as usual, excellent work Ron!!!

Mount for wastegate is done except for grinding to match up the transitions inside.
