What size headers will make the most power for turbo
Hi I am doing a front mount single gt45 turbo t6 76mm on my 383 LT1. I am making the headers for the turbo myself. Whats the best diamiter pipe to use, I was told smaller was better because it would give the gases more speed to spool the turbo, Is this true ? Also Will I make more power If I make the tubes on the headers egual ? If the header tubes are longer before I join them to merge is that better ? thanks...

i built my turbo kit using 1 3/4" stainless for the headers, got some nice formed collectors from Stainless Works i believe it was, and then used 2 1/2" stainless for the crossover from the headers to the turbo. then just a 4" downpipe from my turbo all the way out.
Something along those lines is desirable.

i think i have a set of 6L manifolds with stainless works flanges sitting in the back of the shop from my original plans which have changed since then.
