Yeah I'm really hoping to do as short and straight as possible, or at least gentle bends actually. What do you mean no cheating on the entrance? I know I'm just being finicky here, but anything that will help with faster spool is what I'm after.

That's an interesting manifold, I've never seen one done like that before. I don't remember, does the RX-8 exhaust come out of the irons too instead of the housings? Is that why there are 3 ports on there?

Yeah I'm curious too haha. Unfortunately I won't be able to provide any dyno results since I don't dare get on another one HAHA. All I'll be able to do is give a report on what the butt dyno tells me, how fast it spools and all that. Also, I'll be at a disadvantage due to the 6000' altitude as well, but I do plan on taking this to DGRR this year (assuming I can get it all done in time), so that should give me a better idea of what it will do near sea level. Otherwise I guess I'll run the current turbo out there. Either way, I'm sure I'll be reporting whether I'm happy or not haha. MAYBE I'll get on the dyno just to do a couple pulls, but no tuning, that's when tragedy strikes. I've been fairly lucky enough with just dyno pulls though.
