Okay Chris, you didn't have to cry and lock the turbo pic thread. First off, I really do applaud you for your efforts. Seriously, I do. I want you to succeed. I may not buy it but maybe if I ever stumbled across enough free money I would.
But anyways, I still think a shorty header would fit. And no, I don't know a member of SAE but their headquarters is thiry minutes from my home in Cranberry Twp., PA in the Thorn Hill Industrial Park. Should I go pay somebody a visit?
In my opinion, there are only two complexities in designing a turbo kit. First, designing a quality exhaust system that will fit the application, and two, engine management by mapping fuel curves, boost retard and spark. And the latter is definitely the most complex.
I say go back to the designing board.

Beats the HELL out of the stock manifolds!"Are you buying one when they are finished Paul? Are you even considering purchasing one? I'm just really curious.  BTW, the second prototypes are done. The first set didn't have the proper clearance for electronics, etc. I think everyone will "approve" of the new ones. Pic #2 is coming soon. Just chill!

Chris, I think you were dead on in another post of yours when you wrote that you would only release photos when you were done with the R&D and had the final product to show. I think you should stick to your guns on that one. You satisfied our wants for a picture of your work, and all you got in return was a bunch of "engineers" chimeing in on how you should do things. I say go back to the designing board.
I say show me your qualifications, svtPaul, to make such an absurd statement! God knows I am still waiting for the $7000 to fall from the sky that I would need for YOUR turbo kit installed with all the goodies (quaife, bulldog box, etc...) Thanks for all the work, and for what will be one bad *ss turbo kit! -Nick

Well maybe being an armchair critic has its merits. I am patiently waiting for pic number two. If I like it, I will tell you. Keep up the good work.

Maybe they are just throwing would-be copycats off that get too noisy and/or pester them. When the kits ready for realease I'm sure we will all be in for a pleasant surprise or two or three or... No need to give out possible trade secrets now. BTW - Who knows if the people with reserves down get more info too??? Again this falls back to protecting ones investments... ...and while I'm in this mode... For all those that are worrying about the time involved. Look back (or research) at how long Vortech took to make a kit the doesn't even work (most of the time)  I say, "get it right the first time!"

I hate to ask it, but are the pipes after the headers and collecting before the turbo gonna be equal length too? The downpipe after the turbo I imagine should eventually reach its stock location.
Also, Chris, were you planning on retaining the quasi dual exhaust after the cat and possibly bagging the mufflers too?

HOLY COW! SVT Paul! You are really pushing buttons now aren't you?
You have a semi-polite way of writing things that really end up being quite mean.
You can keep prodding him, or maybe you could leave him alone to do his job his way. He's probably got enough things going on right now.
You know what they say, 'too many cooks spoil the broth.'

warmonger ...or too many thieves try to prod out proprietary information & rattle customers by calling anothers design theories in question... Hole Theoried Paul I would really take my last post to heart... Just look how you appear to everyone. You subtly insult the design theories in hope they will tell and show you exactly what their plans are. When they don't for Obvious reasons you bad mouth and try and belittle them even more trying to draw the information out. When all that work turns up a mock up of a log style manifold you go off on that too hoping to hit more pay dirt... Guess what. They're not biting... You however... :p

I like your conspiracy theory there. No, I am not planning on building my own turbo kit nor am I fishing for trade secrets here. I just tune into the BB just like everyone else and am getting excited like everyone else about all this turbo talk. So I express a few opinions, so what? Again, I applaud Chris. So I come across rude, doesn't Terry at times? And I like him too. But oh well. It's just a bulletin board, lighten up!

Somehow I don't think they are going to steal any ideas, I think Chris is going to have a hard enough time making money on this as it is. I sure hope he does though...
