Vertical flow intercoolers have the "end" tanks on the top and bottom instead of the ends. Think of an end tank 24" long on top and bottom, rather than 8" long on each end, with the internal air passages vertical rather than horizontal The air travels from the top of the core to the bottom of the core, rather than from one end to the other. This shortens the distance that the air travels through the intercooler core, resulting in less pressure drop, with nearly the equivalent cooling.
I doubt that the IC piping is any shorter.

flange
No I am NOT joking.. If your going to pay an arm and a leg you'd expect to have some really nice cnc cut flanges not rough laser cut flanges, Dont get me wrong they probly have the nicest looking welds on the their manifolds .. But they have most of the welds done by a robot..
If anyone has seen the Supra flange youd laugh at how ugly it is.. Dont make me post pics to show you scorke!!
BTW what's this new manifold cost? $1500.00??

If the twin scroll cost 1500 I woudlnt be surprised, but I only imagine it to be more expensive due to the extra cost of the flange and the two extra Tial 44mm flanges. Compaired to others on the market Full-Race is not way out there in terms of price, just one of the more/most expensive ways to go.

Yes, it is a true divided manifold with dual wastegates in both a t3 and t4 application with 2 different downpipe designs based on whether or not you have an AC compressor.

I called Full Race trying to get a quote but they still haven't figured out a solid price for the kit...I can only imagine it would easily be in the 7k-8k range... If so I might as well get an AMS/Buschur/etc kit with stroker.

i was talking with geoff a while ago about wanting a vsr for a green setup and he'd told me they were working on a sotck turbo intake manifold design. i see 2 intake manifolds up on the site but they are retardedly expensive. just wondering if the 1400 one was the one he told me about that was in the works.
