Yea I'd say 200hp gain is worth diving into. Beauty of turbos, all you have to do is feed em and let em breathe.

It's going to take some serious fab work but I think I can slice the sides of 2 4 inch pipes and mane them fit, then put a cutout any the bottom for the track then continue the dual 4 inch up to the drive shaft loop. I'm kind of screwed from there though

Update.....Wound up squeezing in dual 4 inch downpipes with loudvalves at the bottom that open up at 2psi then merged my old dual 3 inch into them and put in a better cam for my setup. Made 1413 at 21.5 psi. Tried 25 but it blew the tires off the dyno! Backpressure is lower than boost the whole pull and my co2 usage is way lower.

Glad you got it figured out. Now change the tires, and go to the track.

Went with a lil Jon specd cam, definitely spools faster during a pull or run now, on the street it used to take me a couple seconds to see positive pressure, now it's in boost almost immediately after going wot. Still a little slow on the street but that's probably due to being low on rpm when I hit it
