Turbo Manifold??
I've been thinking about it for a while now and I wouldn't mind having a little extra income on the side. If I could offer a high quality turbo manifold for about $40 over the cost of the material, would you buy it? This would be for all civic models, starting with the D-series then to the B-series. This would not be a log manifold. I would start with a T3 flange but then offer in T4 and other flanges, if I start getting more people interested.
Sorry, should have been in non-tech please move for me.

If you listed the materials used and showed pics of the completed work then i'm sure a lot of people would consider....I have no problem paying for a quality piece as long as it's quality and not some mass-produced ssac junk that cant even support it'self.........I buy stuff for the quality, not the name on it or the cheapest price...
