yeah I found the exact manifold I was talking about last night, about a hour after my post. full-race makes it for about $1500,

we'll see about it, we are busy as sh*t at my shop turning out cars so money really isn't going to be a problem. I just what to make sure I’m making the power though over all. now if I can remember back to my diesel mechanic schooling, "diesel engine exhaust manifolds are "tuned" to deliver to the turbocharger exhaust gas with minimal and balanced flow resistance from each cylinder." "if the exhaust manifold and piping is properly designed as each slug of cylinder exhaust is discharged, it will not "collide" with that from another cylinder but instead will be timed to follow into it's tail stream." now I know we don't have diesel engines in our car, but in terms of spool and tongue we can take a big lesson from our big diesel brothers. after all they've been in the turbo game wayyy longer than we have.
