LOL. Well thanks for the input, but where I'm deployed to right now, I can't see any pics on imageshack, so I can't see anything but the last pic of the magazine article LOL. I've seen your pics before though and I love your setup.
Also, I'm not selling my turbo (that I just bought) and I'm keeping the engine I have, unless it blows or something. I may have to rebuilt it already, but that's only if I determine that it's the engine burning oil and not the turbo. I can't see the HKS manifold and I haven't even seen my new turbo yet because I'm not home, so I have no idea if they would work together. I'm trying to get the manifold made with 321 stainless, and the main thing I was getting at with all this was if anyone could see a problem with moving the turbo back and down. Also, if there were any benefits or drawbacks to doing this, but I know what you're saying about opinions lol. I wondered if it might raise some sort of debate about response. I guess we'll see. Oh, I'm also planning on running two wastegates, one off each runner, probably around 38mm. The turbo supposedly flows 65lbs and the two wg should cover me I figure. I miss the responsiveness of the stock twins, so I'm going more for quick spool rather than high hp.
Oh, and I'm not planning on even putting this on a dyno, so I wouldn't know the HP numbers anyway. Every time that car is on a dyno something tragic happens. I lost oil seals in a brand new turbo one time and an engine another, and possibly a brand new (rebuilt) engine again. The turbo oil seals was my fault haha. The first engine maybe my fault, the last one definitely not (if it is in fact bad).
I'm also using the J-spec tranny, so my gearing so far hasn't allowed me to reach anything even close to 210 haha. Actually I don't think I've even tried to reach that haha.
