not too shabby...was a twin scroll design utilized? Is the turbo oil and water cooled?
EDIT: are you gonna spray to aid in spool time?

Not a fan of the manifold... but where you want the turbo to be, you have to do it that way.

Damn, that's a pretty sick looking manifold you got there. I assume it's going to be braced somehow?

Look back at some of the earlier posts... I belive its allready braced. If I'm correct it was braced before there was a manifold. He has a nifty tripod style thing bolted to the block holding the turbo... and they designed the manifold off of that... So I would asume that manifold could hold a turbo that weights probably as much as the engine.

I'm kind of curious how the front facia is going to look, with the tubo on one side, intercooller in the middle and the single radiator on the right (facing the car).
What type of plans do you and the shop have for how the front is going to look with where the turbo is at?

After I posted, I remembered I saw that brace earlier holding just the turbo up. Figured I would leave it anyways lol.

I doubt this is going to be a street machine, but you can always buy a 2nd front, and cut a hole in one,
Street/track setup...but if I had too I'd probably cut a hole
