300D build thread (finally)
The manifold was pretty easy to do actually, and I only used up about half a cutting disc
I just cut off all the extra crap down to the hole beside the turbo flange, then shoved a piece of solid tubing in it, and welding with a regular old MIG welder.
And I did consider making a shield, but its impractical. I can barely get the nuts to hold the manifold on as it is, so the only viable route would be to wrap the charger with a blanket and wrap the rest. But I don't know if ill do that, I did about an hour and a half of freeway driving at 70-75 mph, ~3300 rpm, after I got off my exit i popped the hood and felt the water, and it was even hot. Like maybe 140? maybe not even that hot. I could touch the cooler lines and it wasn't even close to burning me. Too hot to touch is around 140 if I remeber correctly.
