well one month of waiting for nothing! my header hasn't shown and what he built isn't what i purchased nor will it work and he won't change it. in fact he quit responding to text, won't answer his phone but instead just sent a refund. here is the mazda rx7 style as he calls and what i purchased. the turbo in the pic is a 60 series so sizeable larger than mine and you can see the top of the turbo would've been even with the valve cover gasket roughly.











this is what he sent in pics that is supposed to be my header. not going to work. to high and wg port is in the wrong location. when i said if he cuts and caps the wg port then ship it and i'll see what i can do to cut it down. i only offered because it looks like a quality build and he used sched 10 ss vs the paper thin stuff the china headers come in. but not going to happen i guess the guy is a flake and doesn't want to build anymore. it would sit right above the valve cover right behind my wifes head and i cannot have that. the wastegate makes a tight location even tighter in fact impossible starting from up that high with radiator leaning in and innercooler above it.

lol it is purdy but no i never got it. one month of waiting and it's been one month as i checked tonight since i paid though pay pal. actually 6 weeks from when i called but one month from when i paid after he said ok the flanges should've shipped.

purdy doesn't get the correct header built nor the wg port in the correct location and he had built a lot of turbo headers he should've know that was the wrong location especially on my build after all the pics with measurements i sent!

Just make your own. Stainless isn't that hard to weld just make sure it's crazy clean. TIG it, MIG it they both work, although TIG is better.  Have Doug make the flanges an buy a bunch of present tube and start slicing and fitting.  The better you fit the pieces the better it turns out.

Jeez!  I can see where he used a straighter tube outta exh flange raising whole setup up, but where you wanting wg port going forward toward seats?  Or turned down.  But I can see that big ass filter being behind her head, 15 min she'd be done!

looking like i'm going to have to build one lance and don't own a tig just borrowed jons to build my busa turbo exh. but i will have to break down and buy one i guess.

carl the wg port should've been on the side the batt is on which i call he back side of the collector. it would've been touching the wheel liner in a ranger pick up but he knows it's not in a pick up but rather my rail

not sure why that happens sometimes lol but i can measure od of the tube or id of stock manifold. i do not have time at this point before st a trip to build one myself. not with everything else i have yet to do including the rail! so the china header will get run and re welded as needed for now. i did pm another guy that used to build them and has started building them again last year.
