Tony Palo at T1 race development built the car back in 06. I dont have pics but you can ask him. It used to be on his website under projects.

How's the turbo lag on this setup? It's gotta be like floor it and make a sandwhich before the exhaust builds.

It's just an old school standard GT3582R. .63 T3 hotside.

Thanks for all the good words guys. Hopefully we will have some track results soon after the fuel system is resolved, which should be later this week.

Kinda similar to CBRD's long tube headers? Either way it looks like a really cool project.

Really nice fab work, guy

It reminded me of CBRD's F1 style header as well. /\/\/\ Wasnt that a forward facing turbo unit though?

There are always compromises in location affecting one thing or the other or more than one thing :-)..There aint that much room in the EVO engine bay LOL

The sharp bend into the hotside is the only item i see that may affect all the other great work. That's a tight 180 bend and will create backpressure. Hopefully it wont affect things much though.

That is one nice collector BTW ...is it a Burns item?

What size and length primaries are those? They look pretty much equal length. The merged pipe to the hotside is what size?

Looking forward to seeing spool and dyno data plots

Thanks for sharing !!!
