Well I read that 321 holds up to heat better than other SS, that's why I wanted it. Checking out Phil's 20B thread and seeing the pics of the work Walker has done lets me know how it CAN look, if done by the right person haha. And if it's ugly, I'll just get it ceramic coated LOL. It would be nice if it's beautiful too, but I'm more concerned with it holding up over time (which I'm assuming you're saying it will with "and it will last you about 20 engine and turbo oil seals").

Alright, so using long runners isn't actually better then? I figured as short as possible would be better. I'd love to just make two little runners, maybe only a few inches long if possible, equal length and straight up out of the engine, but I'm not sure if the turbo will be able to squeeze down between there. I like your recommendations though...short, divided (was definitely going to get twin scroll, no question there), and try to keep it direct.

Shit, I just thought of something though. If I push it lower and further back, I can say goodbye to good oil drainage. ARGH!!! Longer hoses for coolant (no big deal there) but oil drainage will be a problem. Shit.

Anyway, here are some pics of my "precious"...











It's been at the house for a while, but my roommate just sent me some pics since I'm wondering what the size of this thing is. I thought the CHRA being longer would have changed a lot, but it looks not too much longer than a Garrett.
