Tubing thickness and diameter for manifold
I have searched this but did not find much except that full race and someone else use the 8 gauge stainless which is just over 4mm and most others use 16 gauge which is about 2mm. I found one post also asking if 1.5" tubing was correct size but no answer. Also looking at 304 vs 321, some one mentioned 321 was pricey. Im looking to make a manifold ( after some log mani practice) that positions the turbo more forward and slightly higher than most, will need to clear a/c. Any recommendations on suppliers for flanges, tubing, alloy, and thickness would be greatly appreciated. BTW its going in a 510 lol.

Most make their manifolds out of 304L pipe, Schedule 10 1.5in. It actually measures 1.9od, 1.6id.
Mine is made of that as well, purchased all the pipe from acestainless.com
My flanges came from bmcrace.com. really nice and great price.
