So introduce Toyota Kanban system for lean manufacturing to a lean manufacturing business?

Getting a business to pay for that setup, coaching and training would be a mission.

I doubt small businesses will see the value or even pay for it.

I tried to fit mine today, manifold drilling was miles out and will not fit. Woeful alignment, who knows what the ports will be like...

Waiting to hear from Artec next week. 

Interesting 🤨

I bought mine this time last year during the Black Friday sales so would consider myself in the 'early' buyers and mine had none of the above issues u mentioned..

The biggest gripe I had though is i bought new studs and nuts (tiutanium) at the same time and without heavily modding an old 12mm ring spanner I never would have been able to tighten two of the nuts..

I had no issues controlling boost (running a 45mm TurboSmart gate), I'm not making huge power / running huge boost though so probably not the best example...

I had no issues fitting the new Ti fasteners but there was a reasonable amount of slotting required.

If you look at 6 Boobs, their single gate "twin scroll" manifold, where the start of the bend for the wastegate mount,the division stops, thus you're not maximising the scavenging effects.

 

My 6 boost is divided right through

That's good! Others I've seen aren't divided like that.
