I was kind of hoping to see that weird *** piping that just has different sections of tubing welded together though. What is that called? how does the flow compare with regular mandrel bent tubing? I would imagine it might be a bit worse due to all the angles compared to the smoothness of the mandrel.

Looks like a quallity set up, but why would you bother to use twin turbos if they are not sequential?? I thought the whole point of twins was for spool up time and low end power...

why wouldn't you just go single for less complication instead of running parralel?

Now if ssomeone could produce a mandrel-bent SS manifold for stock (or M2) sequential twins, they'd really have something.

Mmmm...internal w/g....no replumbing required.

1) Will it fit with SMIC like M2 large or CWR?
2) Any chance it will work with boxed CAI like M2's or CWR's?
3) Taking any deposits?

Does anyone know if this setup will work on a 2nd Gen? I may be interested in getting one myself if it will.

Is this kit going to be a Sequential Twin setup? Is it going to be a direct bolt-on stock replacement setup?
