Pretty sure our laser has most of the turbo flanges drawn up, and if someone can get me a flange or a drawing to copy for the manifold we'll have that too. Let me know if you want a quote on them.

Just bought some new shelving to make my workshop more productive. Heres some pics of the cleanup (not done yet), and some sneak peeks on some work going on.

The owner of this setup requested a setup that would :

-Happily make 250rwhp if needed.
-Insta-Spool
-Super Low Mount
-Steampipe
-3 Inch Dump
-Fit with AC
-Neat and authority friendly (nothing screaming book me)

So Im going with a pretty basic log style manifold, Like youd get from FM or Begi and similar to the AVO kit.
This design is great for spool-up and still fine for 300rwhp easily, bonus is that it allows plenty of space for the AC and the HUGE V-Band dump the cars getting, which is great for everything, and will serve as the setups cool visual thing, for anyone that dislikes my lack of use of shiny parts so far :mrgreen:

Any commens or questions as usual are welcome.

SNAP.. I have the same shelving system in the shed. I should probably start a GT one of these days.

Looking good.

Niiice! Never mind shiny bits - I'd go for ceramic coating.

Looks like it's going to be a nice set-up.

When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.
