We will have some solid numbers to post in the near future. We won't release # untill we feel the kit is 'safe' for normal use. This manifold is just a prototype for now. A race version of this header will be added to the line up in the future. :o

im a little confused at that FMIC; why are the inlet and outlets on different sides?

wouldn't it be easier to use a same-side inlet/outlet design on the IC (in this case both the in and out pipes would be on the drivers side)

it looks like the way it is setup, the compressor side of the turbo would have to have a longer path to the IC.

was there just not enough room for that kind of setup under the bumper?

of course you have to do oil pan mods. thats the only way i have ever seen any aftermarket turbo work, you have to modify the oil pan. no big deal

the only thing that i've seen that had lubrication that was self contained was a supercharger.

shouldn't all turbos need to tap into the oil pan for the oil return line?

oh yeah, that turbo looks good. yummy!!! :D

You got to tap back somewhere. Oil pan is by far the most common, but there are other places you could in theory use.

I don't know what a TC's system looks like, I thought that the block may have some sort of relief valve or oil passage with a block off plate like on the Supra engine blocks or some other means of getting oil in and out.
