[Herr-Kuhn]

It would be pre-mature for me to speculate on any pricing for 16V right now. If I want back in to do the 16V stuff again I would use manifolding nearly identical to this...my jig bolts to the bottom of the heads and then you connect the dots.

I am thinking about going into my 81 4.5 and using these GT series turbos on that car along with a new set of manifolds like these. That means I'll have a K-26 manifold/turbo/wastegate system that will not have a home. If I go this far I might be willing to sell the K-26 system...but that that is a ways off for me. I need to see what these 32V results will be before I make any changes on the other car.

On the snouts...I have made molds for these parts, so reproduction is very easy for me. It is somewhat time consuming but not that difficult. The pattern and mold building process took a lot of time and finesse. Selling these bits would depend on how much people were willing to spend for the parts. I use a high grade cloth and epoxy resin...not polyester, so there is some cost associated with just the raw materials. The epoxy resin is safer to use (almost no smell) and it a lot stronger than the garden variety polyester resin (I'll never go back to that stuff...it has a horrible smell). The snouts are 5 layers...two fine layers and three heavy layers for strength...it all gets layed up together so in the end it is an intimate connection.
