DIY Manifold components
Turbo Mini Forums

Just trying to collect some bits for my turbo build. I'm going to be going GT17 now and keep finding reference to the GT1752 Saab 9 5 turbo, so that's probably the one I'll be going for. I am planning for my mate to build me a manifold, but I'll be sourcing the parts/mocking up.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get some of these bits:

- A series head flanges
- GT17 manifold flange
- Steel tube & 90 degree bends - not sure of size?
- Downpipe flange/pipe - cut from Saab?

Does it matter if I use stainless or mild steel? Doesn't need to be shiny, just functional and reliable!
