it has more fall like this also
what size is the fitting, I didnt really see any room there for a 1/2" NPT fitting, but I did see the timing cover was a possible spot but that was higher than the turbo drain.

Saturday is the day eh.... I'm stoked to hear that, and it's not even mine.
Thanks, man. Yeah, I'm stoked.

8 psi sounds like the final number, and my valve springs are CC918's along with chromoly pushrods.

If it's ready to pick up on Saturday, those numbers should be given to me Friday before they close. I've got my fingers crossed.

With so many portions of this project being so HORRIBLY timed and frustrating, it seems this will be the one with actually good timing for me!

What i dont get is the first car that we did the prototype on had a deep tranny pan and the cross over we made was above it. I talked to spintech
mufflers about their oval piping and I have got that deal setup. I am just waiting for somebody to step up and get a car to me.

You guys have been great. thanks for help and providing all of this information.

Well, if I may, I certainly would not be disappointed in seeing what they can do for me with 8 psi... Stock bottom end, stock cam, but no exhaust at all to choke up the turbo... Uh, 532 rwhp?

As long as I join the 500 club.

No problem Dalton, we can only make the kit better! I know it would cost more, but do you see it feasable to do the cross over from the passenger side header under the tranny in dual 1.75"-2" in order to save some ground clearance? cross sectional area of dual 1.75" would be about 4.81 q/inches and a 2.5" pipe would be 4.90 sq/inches so I guess the the 1.75" dual wouldn't be ideal as something a tad bigger would, or how about some oval pipe perhaps? just ideas....

Im an idiot and didnt read your post above, haha. what is the thickness of the oval pipe? im guessing it would have to be around 2" x 3"

Did you see my notes above on the alternator bracket and the plate? oil return line? Haven't been able to get a hold of you for a few days now... It would be really nice to get some kind of CNC peice of aluminum made for the alternator and tensioner.
