Hi Paul -

regarding the impressive CAD - CAM  arrangements of yours for the intake
manifolds - was it basically the case that spun carbon fiber over a
{ sacrificial } core simply wasn't up to temps & vibes ? Or some other
reason ?

That was basically it. I was worried that heat from the turbo
would destroy the manifold. Especially hot soak after the engine
was shut off.
