I know there are a few people around the DC area using it. Not sure how well its working for them.

Thanks for the input on another manifold option. I think they look pretty good. I wonder how they perform. End user data is a must.

I used a lovefab on my crx. Great welds, thick material. Good build quality for not a bad price.

Hard to tell from the pic, but I bet that wastegate gets a bunch of pressure, and turbo gets laggy spool. I for one wouldn't want my turbo flange on top of a straight pipe. Just my .02

Welds look nice!

Yeah it's going to spool like crap. It looks like a bandaid design for people that ran too small of a wastegate and got boost creep

I assume it is designed for high RPM power.

love fab makes odd stuff... and for an odd setup like a supra or an s2k it's nice... but we have a very 'conventional' type lay out. you just plumb it into the turbo and the downpipe goes underneath... don't need some monstrosity like that.

It depends on how well it is designed and how well it works. I dont know much about turbo efficiency but I am assuming that by enlongating the runners, your build up more pressure before the turbo making it hold power at a higher RPM. I could be wrong but take a look at Shep's header.... it aint exactly small or short. It is the same type layout as our cars, same motor and everything. There must be a reason for the extra length.

The wastegate is actually off of a 90 that leads to the turbo.


It is similar to this design

i definitely agree this is for high hp use. the whole reason why it makes the turbo sit in the middle of nowhere is cuz you can fit anything (however big) with no probs.
