These are OK, but mind you they will need quit a bit of work on them:welding bending and shaping into the right position to fit the hose.
The ones I made took me some time in order to get them at the right position so they would clear the manifold, engine block and chassis.
If poeple are still interested I can make those but there is no way I can compete with the price on Ebay.
This is how it looks on the car.

Wonder how aluminum tubing + -8 or -6AN hard line fittings and steel AN weld-on fittings on the block coolant hose barb & return line from filter heat exchanger would work.. I'm gonna give that a try
from Summit.
Earls 1/2" 10-ft aluminun hard line $13
-8 female & male hard line fittings $8 each
-6 to -8 reducer $5 each
-8 steel weld on $3 each
the engine & turbo are rigid, so the hard lines should be ok, or you can run a short flex AN line from the longer aluminum line section.

Roi, I'll take a set of the 90 degree ones. I have a LoveFab V1 Minime manifold and GT3071R turbo. PM me cost and paypal.
Mind you that these are custom fit for the full Race manifold.
I can make a set ( 2 in total 180 deg and 90 deg) for 100$.
This is not ebay price, but this price hardly makes it worth the trouble, so if no one is interested that is fine as well.

Roi, what material would the hardlines be?
I've seen some made for the turbo miata's and I was hoping they are stainless like theirs.

Well guys I have summed up the parts and work that I have to put into remaking those and it's not cheap, I have to pay for welding and bending as well.

I can also nickel plate it all for show and durability.
