Just wondering if anyone on here runs a Turbonetics cast manifold on their M50/S50/M52/S52. Like to see some pics and some opinions about this manifold.

My install thread (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=675718&highlight=preparation+for+stage)had several pics of the manifold. I had my coated by the folks as Swain Tech, and it seems to have been worth every penny.

Thanks man. Are you happy with it? Does it hold the turbo high enough for gravity to run the return line? Will it support up to 500 hp or when do you think it will drop off?

I have a line on one at the moment, but it depends how much you are asking. :)

I heard somewhere that they use an Inconel cast, can someone confirm?
