    Nice! How much would it cost to snag one or two from you down the road? I made mine on a bridgeport and it was a PITMFA! lol

    Hey Eloy, didnt know you were on this site.
    Lean is great on your wife or your grilled chicken, but certainly not on an internal combustion engine!

    If it is a bottom mount i'm EXTREMELY EXCITED to check it out.. I wanted to do a bottom mount for mine but it was proving to be quite a challenge so i kept it simple and opted for top mount instead

    They are high $105.00 my cost. They are 1/2" thick 304ss. The nice thing is, after they are cut there is no machine work to do.

    That's still pretty affordable. You havent had any prob running stainless steel?? everything i've ever known is to run a mild steel flange...

    The only thing about welding stainless is you have to be very clean. Once you start welding you have to purge, and then the welds can last forever...

    right i'm not questioning that, i've done all that just fine. but what i know about the flange itself is that you're suppose to use mild steel on a turbo application cuz if you use stainless it's been known to actually pull studs out of the head due to the expansion. Mild steel wont do that. Other than that it looks like we've done the same thing. 304ss sch 40 for the primaries

    Never had that issue happen to me, however the inlet turbo flange (which is threaded) I do use mild steel, I did have studs come loose with those stainless flanges.
