Glad to see you up and running. 
I know it's been a long road but was it worth it? I sometimes think it's not and then I think about what I'll have and get all happy but then I think of all I lost and go sit in the closet crying. j/k no really, no just kidding.

I was wondering if that mani would be available, or if it's a one off?
By no means does this community want this manifold, yes it looks cool and if thats your only reason for buying a piece like this then so be it, and it works for that purpose.
Will it work...yes your forcing air through it
The hole concept of having an "equal length" design and a collector has been defeated by the extension from the collector to the turbo itself.
We as a group are forutnate enough for ZPI to go the way they did, or they would have been filling numerous enthusiasts heads with miss information and more bad product to just to make a $$$$.
Again, not taking away from this build, just trying to help educate.
I give props to j3st3r for seeing it through especially after everything he has been through.
Enjoy

Todd

Wow....thanks for the great vote of confidence on the setup.......don't all remote mount turbos have this same configuration?
Thats the wonderful thing to turbos, its forcing the air through
Remote mount is one thing.....but trying to make an equal length style manifold with an efficient collector design is defeated with the extension from the collector to the turbo. Everything you gained you lost. You have a "glorified" log style manifold.
Again its not your fault just sub par fabrication and knowledge.
Plus not many manifold designers know, but most of the performance gained by a certain style of manifold is all in the design of the collector. The battle is won or lost here.

The kit is really a one off, its not a production kit, with the piping, routing, turbo, and exhaust setup, its all pretty one off stuff. Now that is not to say that it couldnt be duplicated, but I dont know that anyone has plans to. The mani, as far as I know is not being sold/built by anyone, but I think Full Race makes one similar.
Todd I do appreciate the info on the mani though, now that being said...I am an engineer, and would be very interested in talking with you about the design, and flow characteristics on the collector, and design. PM me , or I also PMd you my phone number. Also thanks to everyone regardless of positive or negative for the comments. I am hoping to have some dyno numbers on it within the next couple of weeks, and then evaluate what, if anything the setup needs. I will honestly just be happy to have it back and able to drive again, and as Paul mentioned sometimes all of this hassle and BS just doesnt seem worth it, I hope that feeling changes after getting it completed, and driveable.
