As it sits right now, I can see regulating boost being a significant issue.

This is my only gripe with the PTK Corvette kit. Terrible wastegate routing design.

Do you have any ballpark numbers of what these could sell for?There are several nice fabbed stainless turbo headers out there now around $8-900.

If you could get the number i would think they could be cheaper. The problem with fabbed stainless steel headers is they have to be hand made, and the customer has to pay for the guys time.

If I could do this I would sell them for what I had in them,and since I get them cast for next to nothing I would pass it on .

I would be interested in the potential cost we are looking at. Could one have Vbands cast onto the ends or welded on instead? Saves space.....
