The manifolds are all the same. I even upgraded to a 20G on mine.

Yea, was talking about the actual ZPI manifolds. Not what Todd created.

So, you think you have seen more ZPI manifolds than I have? Seriously?

Dude....SAME manifold as the rest of them. I'm not following on what you are trying to point out. Todd claimed that there was so many versions of ZPI's manifold (I.E. Designed differently than the rest). I'm saying that's BS. There were two at the most. His claim that the turbo was positioned differently on multiple occasions. I'm saying that is BS. If it's not, I'd like to see the "multiple" manifold differences.
I'm not talking about cracks in manifolds that get welded back together by a hack job exhaust shop. I'm talking actual DESIGN differences.

and its a fact when fabbing parts that not every piece is exactly the same unless youv got one hellava set up with cnc machines, perfect jigs, and the best tools. Im sure others can vouch for that. P-tuning has one great set up from what i can tell but im sure even they will tell you that there can be some very small variances with their kit. so small it doesnt affect fitment but still.
Travis im sorry bro but untill you pick up a welding mask and do a little fab work yourself then i might listen to ya.

btw what is the zpi log mani known for????? cracking right? and why do they crack? they get hot? and warp? do you think perhaps that had anything to do with this? how likely do you think it is that Todd got ahold of a used ZPI mani? and what condition do you think it was in? perhaps warped? on top of thes fabing variances? and did we forget that MR. ZPI himself is in houston now? you dont think he brought some of his zpi stuff with him? You think iv never met the guy? or seen his stuff?
besides this thread is about Christian. You do agree this guy needs to get his stuff or a refund asap? cause then thats something we can both agree on.

Those variances be it as it may.....are not DESIGN differences. Todd made it sound like they were Designed differently and basically using it as a crutch to by more time. That's what gets me when it boils down to it. But yes, definitely agree on the guy needing his stuff.
Eventually I'm going to come to TX....been once, but only for business. The Perfect 10 strip club has awesome Steaks amongst other things. Got in free cause my hotel shuttle guy said I was VIP....good memories...
