well not to highjack your thread but to make a turbo mani for a V6 or 8 you'd need to mount the turbo under the vehicle where the pipes come together to make one exhaust.

being able to keep an eye on whats going on is one thing...but for TUNING purposes it just will not suffice ...you can not make PROPER adjustments by watching a video of a gauge..and i you had any experience with actual tuning you would realize this.....here , let me show you an example of a data log , and see if you can tell why a video your dash is differnt ..

but it does sound nice to hear the turbo whistle.

that is my question too, no way they make a 1psi spring...a boost controller cannot go lower than what the wastegate is set too...hell who knows...maybe he made it so the wastegate always stays open until he tunes it, that will help keep the bost to most minimal level

really....im glad you like....well i just got of the phone with my cousin...and hes going to see if i can get a full 3" turbo back....for just [B]$150[B] how cool is that....by the way he works at Jardine motor sports in riverside...so they might start hooking us up with a nice exhaust if they decide to do mine
