tc78 will support 800rwhp on 17-20psi with meth. Depends on how you want the boost to come in. I would personally use a 88 if I was wanting to achieve 800rwhp+.

It's routed very similiar to the stock setup, but with the alt relocated.
Wow Congrats on the newborn! Im glad I joined this forum! This definitely looks like something I would do in the future. Car is clean, looks stock and the build is definitely affordable. Thank you for sharing!
Nice build man. Just a quick question. After lookin at all these front mount build threads, how do you get the correct angles for the cross over pipe? How do you find out what peices need to be cut?

Then take the T4 Flange and bend the lip of the merge with a pair of pliers until you get the desired shape to fit the T4 flange. Next just tack it together.
I did the same thing for the manifold to the merge, just cut another u-bend directly in half. You can angle them pretty good but will still need a little angle cutting to fit good. I used a jackstand and ziptied my merge to the jackstand so I could adjust the height to measuring and cutting for the manifold to flange pipe.
Also another tool that helps big time, is a harbor frieght 2" - 3" pipe expander for like $15. It's easy to use and allows to open the pipe up just a hair to slide another pipe into for a good solid weld.
When I get home, I will post some more pics of the progress when I was making the merge. Pictures speak alot for themselves.
alright man sounds good. I know I can do it when I start my build, I'm just wondering if there are easy ways to do it. Like getting the flange for the crossover set where you want it and the correct angle you want it setting at and getting the correct angles cominng off of the manifolds. Just to make it look good. I plan on doing an all stainless hotside and stainless can get expensive, so the less I mess up and the more I know, the better
