His name is Chrys Espejo, he's on facebook. He races Unlimited Street, is from California, runs e85 most of the time, if not exclusively. Air to water intercooler. I think its gone 10s. Nice guy. Cool car.
The only header I have seen that keeps the turbo out of the engine bay is the CB. If having the turbo/exhaust in the engine bay is not a problem or having unequal length primaries , the fabrication gets easier.
That's kind of how I was thinking to do it. Run the 1/2 side around the forward part of the engine and end up back around by number 4. Or maybe keeping it kind of like it is now but running a little bit lower in the back so things don't have to be so tight running back up.
That's pretty much the vision I had for it. But I would think the turbo would need to be a bit higher for drainage? Do you have to run a scavenge pump Chip?

My header is MS. I'm gathering a whole bunch of stainless bits to do a new header, but not ready to do it yet. My steel one has definitely done some corroding. Its still sound, for now. I mainly want the stainless for its durability.
I'm ordering up my bends tomorrow. Its a bummer because the place with the cheap bends has nice flanges for sale too but no cheap collector. The next more expensive place with bends has a cheap collector but don't have thick flanges. So I have to order from 2 different places.
I'm really tempted to try blowing through one of these carbs but it sure seems like the throttle shafts would be a huge leak. I would also probably have to put an electric fuel pump on... Maybe. I don't really know what pressure the stock mechanical pump puts out. I believe a Holley is good to 7 pounds of pressure before overcoming the needle and seat. So if I have to bump the fuel pressure up as boost rises I could need as much as 17 pounds (assuming I run 10 psi of boost).I can't imagine I can get that from a stock pump.
