...and it got me thinking. Who has a HIGH quality turbo manifold for the Zetec out right now?
Anyone?
Anyone?
So I found our master for our Zetec turbo manifold...

I will be trying to fabricate one very similar to the Cheeseman Products manifold out of the UK, although I will be incorporating an external wastegate whereas theirs require an internal wastegated turbo. Here is what they look like:

All this fuss over manifolds. 
I'm using the stock Zetec exhaust manifold with my turbo kit. :evilgrin:
Ok, but seriously now, for those who want a more "conventional" turbo setup, there are several choices.
1.) Roush turbo kit manifold - but is it available separately from the kit?
2.) Precision tubular manifold - looks awesome, but requires a very low turbo location, and like the Roush manifold, it may not be available a la carte.
3.) OEM Focus RS manifold - if I were building a DIY kit, this would probably be my first choice.
4.) Aftermarket Focus RS manifold from the "forbidden site" - as I recall, it looked very nice, and I think it was actually a cast tubular design.
I think it would be nice to have some reasonably-priced domestic cast manifolds on the market. Even though they will be of no use to me.

Well what do you think randy ?
Is that a top mount manifold? Or is the motor upside-down on an engine stand?
Ray, oh sweet pathetic Ray.
Whos leg do you hump? As soon as Tom's ass was tossed for not paying the bill he signed a deal with you so that you could do his pimping / be his bitch on here.
Funny that he's been banned, yet he was able to get my focaljet only email address that I'd changed after he was banned. Thought those were viewable only to members? Perhaps Ray, you've been allowing him to use your login so that he can still roam freely and take what he's been taking? Hmm?
Ray... there are major companies that won't deal with you and your shop... why is that? Is it because in aligning yourself with Tom you've irreparably damaged your reputation?
No wait, your little "I don't want to help you cuz you didn't buy parts from me so f**k off" atttitude that you PROUDLY displayed in your signature pretty much did you in, I guess.
