How much did it cost to make your manifold? How Long did it take to make? Who made the part? Is it stainless? What wastgate flange?

Thanks

Sorry I missed this. Well when I first bought my turbo kit, everything came to about 2500 dollars. A guy named Mike schroeder made the kit for me. He's no longer around, and if he was I wouldn't recommend him. It looks like he bought the parts from http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/, and welded it together.
I have a tial/turbonetics wastegate flange.

Didnt you just get a new one made?

well, yeah that's a long story. Schroed was supposed to give me a stainless manifold, stainless 2 1/2 inch dp, and brand new turbonetics super 60 turbo, with stage 3 wheels. all for 1500 dollars.

Shorter version of the story.

My insurance company gave him 2000+ dollars

4 months later.
I got a stainless manifold.
My downpipe may, or may-not be stainless. it came with some crappy coating, and exhaust wrap. I didnt get a chance to inspect it before the shop installed it. I was so sick of waiting i didn't care.
I got a turbonetics turbo. Not sure if its a super 60. Not sure if it has stage 3 wheels. But it looked brand new. I know its not from this years line up of turbonetics super 60's, because they have a billet backing plate, and mine does not.
He was supposed to give me 500 dollars for my deductible, that's why he charged the insurance company 2000.
Haven't received any money from him.
Mike schroed sucks.
But my stuff works pretty good, I try to FOCUS on the positive.
