Thanks for your help on my other thread brute. For a small a/r turbine housing (like 0.48 A/R) what would be considered as "matching everything"?
Stock TB?
Stock intake manifold?
No cams?
3" (not 2.5 before the flex) downpipe?
No cat?
Basically keep the restrictions before the turbo and remove restrictions after the turbo?

The idea to measure backpressure using an oil pressure gauge from FP is cool.
