It's not a log header its a fabricated tubular manifold. There are pics of the headers a few pages back.

I was seriously interested at a price of 4,500$... I was planning D1SC but that price would sway me GREATLY.

nice kit for sure though!

How low are you going to be able to control the boost down to when the wastegate is so far away?

What? That literally has nothing to do with it, well very little. The feed for the WG looks about as optimal as it can be. Fed directly off the header, great flow path.

Who cares? Theres not enough room to run a tubular header, obviously. Will it hinder power in any way? No. Why are we arguing symantics?

Wow the guy just asked a question and got a answer that didn't match the picture. Symantics?

Let's play nice so we can keep this thread going.

Lol well, they are tubular. Technically.

–adjective
1.
having the form or shape of a tube; tubiform.
2.
of or pertaining to a tube or tubes.
3.
characterized by or consisting of tubes.

Just sayin.....

No hope in this at all?

I am not saying sign me up and I'm ready to buy.... But that is what I planned on spending on a D1SC so this would be a valid option as well.

Well if stock truck manifolds can do this............

Then I would have to say that there should be no issues with our stuff.

Yeah, I doubt the header style will matter at all.
