Scrap metal is a good bet.

Last time I bought sheet stainless it was $1 / kg.

Otherwise Midway metals have been the most cost effective for tube when I have bought it.

$1 a kg i doubt it very very much!! I used to work for an aluminium supplier and we also sold stainless to some customers and i can tell you that it would cost more 10 bucks for a 1200x2400x1.6 sheet. More looking at something like 130 bucks of the top of my head

I always find it tough to find good cheap suppliers of metal that are willing to sell small amounts. But that's understandable.

For exhaust bend/flanges etc i used dumperking.

For pipe/sheet/rod etc i use steel solutions... they're really handy!

I haven't found a good alloy/stainless joint yet, so let me know if you find one lol

Considering he was actually looking for STANLESS steel, not stainless steel; the spam link will be useless to him.

I will admit to wishing all of my steel is completely Stan free; Stan has always been a bit of a dick.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
