Well, I received the manifold last week. The build quality of the manifold isn’t that good. Nothing against Ludster, everything is as described. Neukin however doesn’t make good manifolds. The turbo & motor flanges were both ~30thou warped, which thanks to some machine work it’s easy to fix. While the welds look solid on the outside, the inside (which really matters) has edges showing and the welds from the motor flange to the pipes have .25” overhangs. I still have to grind the flange to get better flow from the manifold.

All-in-all: if you get a Neukin manifold make sure it’s straight (you might have boost leaks, among other issues), and also check for ease of flow.
