This is the CNC-machined billet head flange used in our OM605 turbo manifold kit, sold separately for builders fabricating their own manifold or replacing a damaged one. Designed in-house and machined from a solid billet of stainless steel \u2014 not a cast manifold, where casting is a built-in compromise between quality, performance, and price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Built for Reliability Under Load, Not Just Peak Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">In motorsport, a part rarely fails the first time it&#8217;s asked to work hard \u2014 it fails after hundreds of heat cycles, once a weak point has had time to show itself. A restrictive port transition doesn&#8217;t just cost you a bit of spool on the dyno once; it means the head runs hotter every single pull, every track session, every time the car is driven hard. Over a season, that&#8217;s the difference between a setup that holds up and one that starts giving you problems right when you can least afford them. Getting the transition right isn&#8217;t a nice-to-have \u2014 it&#8217;s part of what keeps the rest of the engine out of trouble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Why It&#8217;s 25mm Thick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The OM605&#8217;s exhaust ports are low and wide. Machining a clean, gradual transition from that shape into round tubing takes real material thickness to work with \u2014 not a stamped or thin-cut plate. That&#8217;s the actual reason for the 25mm, not thickness for its own sake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Machined From Solid Billet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">CAD-designed in-house, then CNC-machined from a single block of stainless steel. That&#8217;s what makes it possible to hold the exact transition geometry we designed, rather than whatever a casting mold happens to allow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Fitment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Port spacing is identical across OM604, OM605, and OM606 \u2014 same pitch, just repeated for however many cylinders each engine has. The OM605 is a 5-cylinder head, one port longer than the OM604 and one shorter than the OM606, so this flange is machined to that specific length and port count. It is <strong>not interchangeable<\/strong> with the OM604 or OM606 versions \u2014 order the OM605-specific flange for this engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Build Your Own Manifold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Sold separately from the turbine end, so you can pair it with whatever turbine flange your build needs. Also the correct replacement part if you already run our OM605 kit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Material: Billet stainless steel<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Thickness: 25mm<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Port transition: Precision-machined for the OM605&#8217;s low, wide exhaust ports<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Design &amp; manufacturing: CAD-designed in-house, CNC-machined from solid billet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Ordering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Sold on its own \u2014 no tubing, collector, turbine fitting, gaskets, or hardware included.
