No it got finished. Kinda fell off the face off the earth between a knee surgery and not having a job for four months. I do still have a 240 and now that I have a job again I can continue my build. I would post pics of the manifold now, but obviously im on a friends computer. Pics will come tomorrow.

Nelson I'll shoot you an email in a minute.

Ok, so it turns out I didn't take any pictures of it after i re-worked it. I'll dig it out of the pile of parts in my garage and take pics later today.

Those are good looking welds and good fab work, but it looks like the turbo would hit the hood, or come damn close to it. Can't wait to see the new pics.

These were the only good ones I could get with my phone. Lost my camera somewhere and I can't find it. But I don't have a motor in my car so I can't really test fit it yet. I'm breaking the motor in N/A so if it doesn't fit it's not a big deal. After looking around at other manifolds and such I'm leaning towards making a bottom mount. If it does fit I may throw it up for sale on here or locally. Idk yet. Amyways lmk what you guys think. Thanks for all the kind words!

I purged it so I was running it pretty hot. I'm sure I could have mig welded it, but frankly im no mig welder nor have I ever mig welded. Plus it's stainless. It's cold here in indy and the car is outside and a good half hour drive from my house so fitment pics may have to wait.

Ali I don't have an s14 to build off of so fitment may be hard to work around.
