Built to the car, not to a catalogue.

Turbo manifolds, stainless systems and one-off fabrication, cut and welded to fit the vehicle in front of us. Fifteen years of it, in a two-bay workshop at Risby.

Fifteen years building Powerflow systems. 4.96 averaged across 155 reviews. 304 stainless on every job. Warranted for as long as you own the car.

Turbo and exhaust manifolds

Built alongside Elmer Racing, who supply the billet turbo and merge collectors. Every joint is back-purged with argon on both sides, so the weld penetrates properly instead of sugaring on the inside.

Collectors
Elmer Racing billet, T3, Tial V-band, 3-into-1 merge
Process
TIG, back-purged, full penetration
Material
304 and 321 stainless
Fit
Built to the car in front of us, not to a catalogue

Stainless exhaust systems

Authorised Powerflow dealer for Bury St. Edmunds. Each system is hand-formed and fitted on the vehicle rather than pulled off a shelf, so it is made to fit everything it needs to first time.

Options
Cat or DPF back, manifold back, full system, decat
Material
304 grade stainless throughout
Tips
Large range, chosen on the car
Warranty
Lifetime, for as long as you own the vehicle

One-off fabrication

Brackets, mounts, repair sections and parts that no longer exist. If it is steel and it has to fit something, it is worth bringing in. No job is too small or too big to talk about.

Typical work
Brackets, mounts, repair sections, obsolete parts
Materials
Mild steel, stainless, aluminium
Bring us
The vehicle or the part. We will talk it through
Lead time
Quoted with the job, before anything is cut

The part you cannot see is the part that matters.

Argon goes inside the pipe as well as over the torch. Without it the inside of the joint sugars: it crystallises into a rough, brittle crust that sheds into the turbo and strangles flow for the life of the car. A sugared joint can look perfectly tidy from the outside, which is exactly why it is worth asking any fabricator whether they purge.

Gas
Argon inside and out, every joint
Root
Full penetration, no sugaring in the bore
Check it
Look down the bore before it goes on the car
Finish
Heat tint left as it came off, not blasted

Tyres and four-wheel alignment

We fit tyres in the second bay: fitting, balancing, puncture repair and two and four-wheel alignment. Search by registration, pick a slot and pay when you arrive.

We come back with a price and a build slot. Nothing is charged until the work is agreed, and no job is too small to talk about.
