    Default Relocating wastegate pipes - welder around BNE wanted

    here's the manifold:





    Turbo I want to put on: (t04s, .84)



    the previous owner with his T04z:





    criticism of the manifold aside - can someone recommend a welder who can help relocate the wastegate pipes? (instead of going upwards and causing a slight bend on the dumpipe) - so its lowered ?

    anyone of you who might want to do it (PM and discuss $$) ??

    Cheers

    Hi mate

    Most guys don't like working with second-hand manifolds but that looks like a good thick-wall one so it shouldn't be a problem. I'd guesstimate that's a $100-$150 job but depends on materials required (ie. if it can just be cut & shut).

    My recommendation would be to contact Will at Quickspool... email [email protected]. Brilliant work / very fair prices & a good honest guy. Done a fair bit of work on my car. Based in Cleveland & well worth the trip. I have to take him some stuff shortly so if you're not in a MASSIVE rush I you're welcome to drop the manifold to me and I can get it to him for you in the next week or so.

    Also if you're interested he's doing a big run of ceramic coating / HPC stuff so if you want your manifold to go in it will be fairly cheap (batch/bulk discount). Probably $220 for a manifold at a guess.

    Cheers
