I asked a friend a few days ago if he had an extra driver side manifold wish i will need by going turbo, he brought it over today but it looked DIRTY from the outside and my first tought: i´ll take this thing to a sandblaster, after 15 minutes i hear a noise coming from my neigbor i open the door and he hired a mobile truck sandblasting some machines he had, i went over and ask them to sandbast the manifold, i think it turned out good, now some sanding on the part that touches the engine so we dont have any leaks, a coat of 2000* header paint and wrap it up and it should look and work like new

 

Nice timing for sure! Came out nice for a stock manifold!

 

Hows that for luck lol

 

you routing your piping around front or going twins?

 

Im going with a kbracing kit, single turbo

 

Thank you, will post more pictures in a couple of weeks once i got the hot side wrapped and painted

 

so why do you need a new driver manifold?

 

Couldnt find 2000f spray paint, would 1200f do it?

 

Truck has headers and i didnt have the stock manifold for it

 

ah makes sense

most of those paints will burn off anyway in my experience
