+1, it all looks good, but after josh(99blackhatch)'s horror threads about his SSac manifold, i didn't think anyone around here would try it.
just high temp paint the hf manifold, then it won't look so bad, and use that.

The turd rust turbine housing isn't helping things. Everything else sure is....shiney? You'd probably get some more commentary if you laid out what went into the motor build.

my buddy bought that cheap manifold...bad luck happen'd with it lets just say there not kind to 9psi and the welds break, I say use the HF manifold and resell that knock off till you can buy a really nice one like Josh's.

I would pull the turbo and high temp that cast part of the turbo, just to throw some color in there and then high them the valve cover black or red or something. To much polish for my taste, but none the less you look like your making huge amounts of progress.

do it right with quality parts the first time.... even if you have to wait a little longer to get the motor in, you will thank yourself in the end
