First attempt at Turbo manifold

So, made some progress today on the manifold for the turbo.

It is basically the stock gsxr1100wp manifold stubs (including the bit that joins the head and the first bend). These are interference fit into 38mm tube (also in stainless). I cut these different bends from 135deg bends (3 of them), and then these all come together at a merge collector.

The picture shows it tacked up, and was to confirm that it clears the chassis rail (very important).

The nice thing about this design is that I only have 5 joints between pipes, and then the complex merge.

This is my first MIG welding project, so I expect to be doing a lot of grinding!
