I'm confident it will perform equally, most likely better, than the T4 housings. The biggest thing is that it saves quite a bit of weight.

This is Shearer Fab's revolutionary, proprietray, CFD tested reverse flow turbo system(patent pending). We didn't test it but we will use big words and catchy phrases in our product description, so it will be the best available. We expect it to perform flawlessly and make at least 2x the horsepower over standard applications.

The V-band turbine housing is by no means race only. In fact we will have several headers done shortly for testing. If all goes well you can expect to see some new turbo kits available shortly.

The car as a package is what most people would consider race only. Personally I wouldn't hesitate to drive it on the street, however I am slightly demented. Just slap a ghetto screen over the turbine inlet and you'd be good to go. Radiator will be on the passenger side of the car.

sorry, i meant to ask if the whole car was race only setup. i know the v-band turbine could be use in any application. does it come with v-band compressor housing outlet.

Exhaust manifold looks great. Who made the collector? Looks like a Burns but hard to tell. Turbine housing looks great as well!

Nobody wants to hangout with you Paul. You cant hangout with the cool kids just because you have a 9sec. Evo. j/k

Just make sure Dan doesn't try to slip roofies in your gatorade.

-Thanks.
-The collector was made in house, I'll have some double slip collectors available in the future. The fixtures need some tweaking, however it's the least of my priorities right now.
-The turbine housing does look quite good, can't wait to see it polished.

wouldnt a cast iron turbine housing hold more heat and therefore help transfer more energy to the turbine wheel and effectively spool the turbo quicker? just thinking out loud
