All I can say is, this 20g is a very big difference when you compare it to stock turbo/stage4. It has a lot more top end and kicks in just like stock.
That day, the boost around 25psi was holding very steady and it spooled very identical to stock, you can't tell if it is stock or not until the boost hits and pulls like a plane, that's where you say woow..

Permatex (spelling) makes a copper anti-size thats good til like 1800f. I used the same stuff on my brakes with no probs
Item # 09128
Now I need to find something with a good heat rating to seal my downpipe. I found some Permatex silicone but it's only good to 650f

Malibu,
Been seeing many many cars come through here on our dyno. One thing the headers all have in common, a huge loss in low end power! I think every car I have dyno'd with a stock replacement header has taken a good 30 whp/ft lb of torque hit in the mid range over the stock ported manifold.

header
or mine for that matter. When I installed my headers, I noticed a significant increase in low/mid range power. A LOT. Top end was not changed much or just not as noticeable.

I think it depends on the runner size.. many of the headers I've seen have huge runners which lowers exhaust velocity..
I tend to agree with Dave though about losing some torque if you have large tube headers, especially if their not "tuned" appropriately for the turbo size (which most aren't)
