which turbos are you considering? Give me more info on what power level you are shooting for, what the car will be used for (street, road course, drag race, etc?) and what your budget is (ball bearing or bushing?) and i can set you up with the right turbo.

We are working with an ASU graduate student right now on his graduate thesis, to determine whether 1-D CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis will provide us with accurate data or if it is necessary to go into 3-D CFD. This will be a published research paper for the Society of Automotive Engineers when it is finished. We try very hard to cover all bases and thoroughly engineer our products from start to finish.

I guess you wouldn't consider a 20G-9 turbo a good combination with a mani like this? I would!

all the big hp honda guys use this manifold. It always gave a big torque increase in power switching from a log manifold to the equal length. Like 40-50ft lb's. increases. Also many of the hot rod class cars use the manifold.

our test was not biased, and we videotaped it so anyone watching can easily see we did not falsify any of the results.
additionally, here are two other tests that we had nothing to do with

we dont make up dyno data
