Make sure you post back and let us know what it does, I'm really curious to see how badly it freaks out
Ditto. Love the setup, but I see the factory MAF being an issue in a blow-through configuration.

I'd love to be proven wrong though!

It's nice, as some others had stated, issues might come up, nevertheless, very curious on what the results will be.

Looks real nice man congrats on a unique setup
sorry, now that i look closer, its not 4 into 2. sorry i still think u are starving that turbo with hot air and heating up the uicp.

I believe it was closed, and possibly deleted. Bunch of bickering went down.

Still want to know results . Good luck.

Looks pretty good, just needs refinement. Some heat shielding, etc. I think I'd build an airbox around the intake and stick a NACA duct in the hood for it. The MAF could be an issue... can always go standalone with speed density!

Robert will eventually build my kit, but it'll have to be to my spec... That is WAY too much piping, and reworking the routing looks like a pain!

I didn't like how the downpipe had to come all the way back. A little loss of efficiency, but hopefully you can pull some nice numbers.

Suspension wouldn't hurt, either!

Starving a turbo with hot air?

My turbo enjoys hotter air to colder air for breakfast....Doesn't yours?
I agree on the UICP comment however.

You were sayin how this is going to spool like a 35r, but make 720whp right?

PLEASE make sure you post that dyno sheet.

The fab work looks quality, but, the runners are too long, and will be cooled because of incoming air, the intercooler piping is way too long, the intake is sucking in hot air, the upper intercooler piping is too close to the turbo, the radiator hose will get hot, if you can even figure out a way to run it, and you dont have a standalone ecu.

I said it in the last thread, and I'll say it again.

They look like they do good work, but this is not at all a well thought out design.

I certainly hope I'm wrong about all the problems, and it performs great. As I'm sure you spent quite a bit for this, but I'm not holding my breath..

longer intercooler piping may result in greater pressure drop but better cooling... that's how mid-exhaust turbo's are so efficient.

They aren't so efficient. There is a substantial amount of exhaust energy reduction with such setups, which makes them less efficient.

Longer intercooler piping is only a bad thing, think about how much cooling the IC does in relation to the piping..... Also pressure drop isn't great either..

I did say that it would spool like a 35r but never said anything about a number it would make.
