      Hmmm... I was kind of interested in getting one, until I read about it killing your low rpm torque... I'd still be interested to see how it works, though! I'm ALL for doing stuff that hasn't been done before. Good luck with the project!

      new design

      ''update'' i decided to go ahead and cut the flange to be sure it would bolt up, also i was concerned with the new manifold sitting too low with the straight runners so i had them changed to curved ones so the TB wouldnt be below the a/c line. (also comes with a new 60mm TB)

      from my understanding its a individual runner velocity thing.. to equalize flow. But its like one of those supercharger vs turbo debates.

      So was this worth the time and money? Any noticeable difference? I'm getting into a turbo build and I'm going to be looking at almost every part for upgrades. I'm sure this would make some kind of positive gain, especially with my tune. Also, I just revived a few month old thread. Yay me!

      +1 on that, you can never have enough shiny stuff under the hood.
