I'm running a crap log manifold (space limitations) and a bottom mount T71 (space limitations).. so I can't do any of the fancy footwork stuff Trevor's getting done. (Divided Manifold, Twin Scroll, Equal Length, Etc)... You have that option though, if you wanted to go custom turbo setup. The GTX35R is also a smaller turbo than mine, but is more efficient, its a reworked GT35R.. so it spools like the smaller GT35R but has more topend being I believe it has a different exhaust housing and one additional blade.

Seriously though while this is a turbo car , all the stuff I mentioned above, including running on E85 is going to really negate alot of the negatives of going turbo as opposed S/C.

Can't wait for the dyno graphs!
