eh nmb2 has a set similar, but still different.
now i just need to find out how to make the turn at the end of the head without it being sharp.
has anyone made their own air filter box?
how would i look up air filter sizes and such?

Any pics of the manifold? Also with that turbo size, if you go with the other turbo, you could look at a Ford 6.0 vgt. Iirc it is a gt3782v. That would spool really well on your engine and you could control it pneumatically. There is a guy over on OBN running a he351ve remotely under his bed and it still spools well. A vgt would spool even better in the engine bay.

i would keep the gtx wheel for sure, i wonder where i could pic up a vgt housing that would fit a gt30r or gt35r frame?
the gtx wheel is what makes these turbos, it's about on the same level as the wheel in nmb2's turbo so i can have smaller wheels and keep flow.
yea, i will get some pics soon, my welds are junk on them but that is what a grinder is for right?
on a side note, i was blowing air down through the ports and the ones that i wasn't blowing air in were pulling air in, so i guess that is a good thing.

I know a lot of the TDI guys swap wheels on the smaller vgts, so you might be able to do it. You might be able to do it with a 6.0 turbo and make out work. Also you might have to have it balanced if you do it.
Also I look forward to the pics.

how did they cast this? it's so smooth.
had to wrap this one around the oil cooler a bit so that it would clear the cab.
and i am not sure how to do the last bit yet.
what do i need to look for regarding inter coolers to make them efficient? i was looking at this one http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchant...ry_Code=IC35CO
keep in mind i have the short wide rad.

basically how to size it for maximum efficiency.
least boost drop, low lag, and best thermal transfer.
i figure that you can do better than stock, kinda why i am looking at aftermarket.
the only thing i really don't like about the one that i posted is that there are no baffles/flutes to help disperse the air though all of the tubes.
and thanks, i just hope they hold up well.

i figure there is a way to figure something out. i guess you could just add up the surface area of the pipe and make sure that the ic has as much or more than the pipe
