    Do you have a picture of the backplate? Thinking that could be a KKK style turbo. It will be laggy with that turbine I think.

    That's a cool project. Where did you get the car from? That's a pretty clean GLH and gold to boot. I would love a gold one some day.

    Sched 40 is pretty heavy, you didn't want sched 10 SS for light weight and durability?

    I think the header i have on Slug is sched 10 SS.

    No sch10 is to thin i built a top mout turbo setup for my saab 9000 with ss sch10 and it cracked. I am building a side winder turbo setup the turbo is going to be above the tranny so I need it to hold all the weight and Im just going to mig weld everything. to buy enough stainless elbows it would have cost me an arm and a leg for just what I bought it was 184 bucks with shipping and thats just mild steel. ive built many headers with it and I like the outcome so far. its going to be ceramic coated then wrapped anyway so im not to worried about the look just the function
