awesome that is good to hear hopefully i have the same luck. hopefully this setup will last me a long time. after i get this turbo i do not plan on upgrading it again. i do plan on building the motor and head when the time comes though. i just have to decide which displacement to go with. but that will hopefully be years down the line.
Andy once i get this thing done i'll have to take a trip to see you. i'll keep you posted.

I'd do both at the same time and save on install, unless of course you're gonna install it yourself in which case that doesn't matter.
The JM Fab manifold is really nice, I want to replace the full race on I have on there now with that one.

i had thought about getting the manifold but my budget is stretched as it is lol plus i think i want to see what effects the ported stocker may have on it.
I do all my own work and tuning so the only thing holding me back is the budget! BTW ill buy your full race mani if you get the jm!

glad to hear and it seems most people I asked feel somewhat the same. dont want to be greedy but if I am making 330whp now with stock VIII turbo on E-85 (just exhaust and cams), what kind of gain can i realistilcally/conservatively expect?
i dont want to spread misinformation but it seems like VIII's with cams (depending on the cams) can make just as much as a IX. depending on your mods and the tune i can see a VIII come out with 400-415hp. but i'm no expert you may see more or less it will depend on alot of variables as well, i.e weather, mods, tune etc.
