sure, size matters, but what've you done for internal streamlining??

btw, the exhaust manifold isn't all that pretty with the unequal lengths, but very slick fabbing to situate the turbo like that. kudos to you.

Sorry Guys we couldn't dyno on sat, the two dyno around here. Kaztech Motorsports, And Bullish Motorsports had no dyno time. So since we are heading out to Sevenstock on tuesday. we might dyno around there in front of everyone. However can any one tell me how to put a video or a sound clip of the car.

If you want to email me something I can host it for you for the time being. Nothing rediculous though, just a couple megs for the movie.
