Exactly. lol. Again once you guys see the bay when its all said and done. Your gonna ditch the whole feelings of using rwd parts this, rwd parts that. Its no different than if i had done a forward facing manifold. Again would have had to be custom made and cost way more. Still would have required a half size radiator and so on. There isnt many options for this. This will be a bolt on affair with no changes to my current setup other than making a new custom to fit complete cooling plate and upper support.

I assure you, the engine bay is going to be insane with what I have planned for it.

Curious about this...would that really be beneficial on his setup and for his goals? He is shooting for that high revving later onset powerband, wouldn't compounding affect that? What size turbo would need to be used in order to handle what his current one would be feeding?

I also doubt there would be enough room in the bay for this setup?

prob would have been $1400 with the right flange on it.

Im not one for bottom mount manifolds either but looks like a nice piece.

Here are some more pics of this bad boy with the very nice JGS gate attached (thank you wifey for attaching it). Again cant say enough how happy I am with it.













Enjoy

She doesnt always like the money that goes into it but she definitely loves me and loves the things I love to do because they make me happy and she loves to make me happy as do I her. She got a house that she loves to death and I get my car parts. lol.

She definitely is one of a kind.

Looks cute. I bet that wastegate will be screamin while my car is pulling away.

Nope, at full boost, the wastegate wont be doing much at all. Thats just so that in 1st and 2nd gear I dont blow the tires off allowing you to get ahead at all, so that I can put lengths on you even in the first two gears.

Have fun trying to keep up. lol.
