Never seen that type, looks very useful in a number of applications instead of using a piece of hose and 2 standard clamps.

That`s a standard Wiggins clamp.  In this case it`s a small one for the balance pipe.  I`m planning to use them on the compressor path as well.

Well the exhaust manifolds have finally materialised here in Germany.

Time to remove the engine and get these installed ready for the final round of performance improvements.

He's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming, Mike is coming home😜

Excited to hear this. Should sound amazing.

[mike_sekinger]

Another change of plan..... the tubular manifolds will now be used on Andräs next race car project, so I will be sticking with the existing Garrett hybrid turbo arrangement.

[mike_sekinger]

I will be leaving Germany at the end of December and will really struggle to take the car with me.

Having advertised the car some weeks ago, I find myself needing to move faster than planned.  I am very motivated to find a buyer asap, so if there is any interest please PM me and let`s see if we can do a deal.
