Agreed. but the Intake manifold runners are going to be just a little longer than you might at first think as we are going to do something a little "unconventional" using the runners.

heat wraps, turbo blanket FTW! wraps on the down pipe or some heat shield will help too in preventing too much heat from going the IM

no not really... I'm still waiting on the rest of the metal and piping needed for finishing the fabrication as well as my Welding guy to find time to finish his end of the bargain. I'll post some more pictures this Friday if I get a chance.

No, it's a took a lot of work, but it's nice and smooth on the inside. The piping makes a shallow curve to the Turbine housing if that makes any sense.... almost as if it slides over the opening.

Very nice..

I'm glad to see individual EGT bungs!

Can you let us know why you didn't decide to go with a divided housing? Was it because you're planning on only using that GTK?
