Question more turbo Q's

ok so i know i should be running a 76mm turbo so here is my next question. im thinking of doing my exhaust like this http://www.highperformancepontiac.co...0309pon_turbo/ does that seem retarted? it wont be exactly like this but it will be similar. i only have so much room in the old 69 bird and this makes the most sence. also im leary of headers because of leaks? let me know what you think. thanks in advance
Steve

Arrow update!

ive made this chart for my car i would like to make 600 hp and i dont think i should have to go past 12psi but i made the chart to 18 because i was board i guess


lbs/min of Air Flow

5psi 7psi 10psi 12psi 15psi 18psi
2000 18.76 20.72 23.52 25.48 28.28 31.08
3000 28.14 31.08 35.28 38.22 42.42 46.62
4000 37.52 41.44 47.04 50.96 56.56 62.16
5000 46.90 51.80 59.15 63.70 70.70 77.70
6000 56.28 62.16 70.56 76.44 84.84 93.24


ok so now that i have that i can see what turbo i can use. the question at hand is how much should i expect to pay for that turbo? what about for a used turbo? thanks again i know i ask a lot of questions but i want to make sure i am doing things right!

you might check out Jose's site he has some good prices on turbochargers. username is JZ somthin or other.

that turbosetup will work i suppose, a cheap way to get it done. Im sure you could do better, but it will involve more work and nbe harder, so what ever your up for.
