thats actually quitegood aside from a few areas,

CR way to low, Tubo will melt itself, it should be bolted to the flange not welded.

It will boost better than you would think due to the stock manifold enabling spilt pulse

There is no cold air to the turbo

ps rack will last maybe a year tops

well the standard manifold is about ohh 3156907billion times better than the effort you have Chet!

Should boost better, better as in quicker and you won't have reversion problems.

Slight difference between a company who imports stuff from europe and sells it on and one who makes there own bits from scratch and tests them on the track!
