Turbo manifold design

Yeah I like how it has a port for a speed sensor, but I'm not sure if I know enough about this stuff to need another gauge inside LOL. Of course, if a nearby tuner has the option to use it for tuning I'd do it, but in any case I just like that I could measure it if I need to at some point. I'd love to learn how to do my own tuning, but I don't know if that day will ever come haha. When I was doing research on this turbo I was reading about turbo speed and how it's used to tune, it's pretty interesting. I don't remember at all what it said right now, but I remember where to find it and I remember that I thought it was interesting at the time HAHA.

If you can fit a shorty manifold that will flow nice it is definitely the best way to go. When I say flow nice I mean the bends have to be as gentle as possible, and absolutely no cheating of the entrance to the turbo manifold. In all honestly it doesn't make that much difference from long vs short, engine build quality will way out weigh it.

Check out this SWEET Rx-8 turbo manifold we pulled off a customer's car..

Curious to see how your EFR works out, I've got tons of guys asking me about doing those..
