Going to be some back to back dyno runs in a few weeks; anti-surge housing(pictured) vs regular compressor housing, and the old journal bearing To4R with hks cast vs one of our turbo setups..

I usually change every manifold a little bit. Its just another fully divided long runner manifold. The benefit of the long runner manifold is pulling the turbine housing away from the lower intake manifold. Also makes for nicer plumbing of the oil return. This is way I prefer to make them for the FC. The short runner is just for people who want to keep the airpump...

looking great elliot! im so excited to get this setup..im also throwing on a bunch of other mods on the car while its waiting for the turbo setup from you..new tech edge 3a2 wide band/data log unit since my microtech dosen't log auxiliaries and i need a really good wideband with the endless functions like the 3a2 has. Also i just finished a half wire tuck on the car. body harness in the engine bay has been stripped to only the nessisary wires. and those have ben newly wrapped and hidden. And i sent every peice of aluminum out to get polished, CAS, upper and lower intakes, waterpump housing,intercooler piping, throttle body, greddy TB tube and a few small pieces. unfortunately i wont be painting the engine bay untill the next time i pull the motor so the paint in bay wont be as nice as the outside, it did polish up pretty well though. Ill post pics soon.
