I have known Tito at Alamo Rotary for a long time, pretty nice guy. The last I heard is there is no more Alamo Rotary or it has been scaled way back. Tito owned a big piece of property that his shop sat on and a Super Walmart opened next door. He has been building a strip center on the property and is renting out all the space. A lot of his time is now being a landlord. Who says Walmart is always bad, it has made Tito more money than his rotary business ever did all just from the increase in trafic and property value.

Sorry back on topic

Looks good, but why a "square" design and not round using u-bends? Round will flow better than square.

many reasons.. main one being that the intake ports on the rotor housing are rectangular shaped. round one will cause lot of turbulence at the entry.

I think you should use a little larger turbo.

You do! Yeh right.
I feel sorry for the person that have to make the jig for your manifold in the rx-8.
I was doing the same thing today with the same size turbo and now I think I have to get back surgery. I use to think that the rx-7 motor was bad on the back but after just a couple of minutes trial fitting this huge turbo, the rx-8 is the sure back breaker now.
