I think some are being to harsh/negative.
Keep up the good work man, test it and I am sure you will sell some. Need more people out there making products and doing the hard work

Yep... some pretty high level nitpicking in this thread

I also have started an exhaust header, cut the flange out already and waiting for my fittings. I also have a fuel rail blank on the way to make fabricate my own fuel system. If the intake does not work ( which i think it will because of the silicon adapter that connects to the maf) than it was worth a try. It was fun and a learning experience building it.

I understand the term work hardening just fine. I don't know what you do for a living, but I am a machinist and a welder full time. I work with various steels, aluminum's, and plastic on a daily basis. if you actually believe that a flow meter will work harden and crack from vibration, you really need to research your materials.
Ps. Can't wait for your response. Your responses to people who "test" you are always fun.

Started a business with a partner a few years ago DESIGNING, ENGINEERING, AND TESTING products for the FC3S primarily. We managed to clear a quarter million dollars of sales in year #2. I used to do this seriously. Specifically for this car... I'd like to think that I know a thing or two about the FC3S, it's customer base, and supply and demand SPECIFIC for the FC3S. I really don't care what your "qualifications" are, but your claims imply that you really have no idea what you are talking about. As for products SPECIFIC to the FC3S, I doubt "yours trumps mines" in this case, so you can drop the resume boasting now... You can drop the ape chest pounding. You really don't know who you're fucking with. I'd suggest you do your research before you start touting your credentials. And, just to keep this OT for the OP... It's all constructive criticism. You're welcome to ignore the whole thing. As mentioned above, I have experience with a thing or two trying to market products to FC3S owners. It's frustrating to THINK you have a viable product to sell, when in reality, it doesn't. Just trying to help you steer your labor and efforts to something that would sell better. That's it. Then people started the resume comparing... You make your product. You try and sell it. If it sells, good for you. I didn't say NOT to sell it. -Ted |

I can see the concern. A rigid body fixed to another rigid body exposed to vibration is generally inviting fatigue due to cyclic stress. The question is whether the magnitude and frequency of the vibrations are enough to cause failure, which is dependent on things like material properties and temperature. My personal feeling? It wouldn't be too hard to incorporate an isolator between the intake and the body. Either way, worst case is the mount breaks. It's not the end of the world.

Personally, I would not let the turbo exhaust manifold handle the weight of the wastegate (AND turbo).
I would add extra braces and take the weight load off the turbo exhaust manifold as much as possible. This is for TUBULAR designs. A cast turbo exhaust manifold nixes the whole discussion. -Ted |

I'm no keyboard tough guy. Nor do I have the time to debate endlessly on a forum over a useless topic.
