more prep for the turbo

[mbeach]

I have a lot more experiance and success with turbos and they really are not that big of a plumbing nightmare for the extra gains.

I'm a big fan of turbos too, but only when spun at considerable (at least double digit) boost levels. Anything less than that you may as well go with a centrifugal superchager and some sort of I/C.

Can the 3.5 handle 10+ psi?
My turbo experience is limited to the SR20det, RB25dett, KA24-t, 4G63, B16, EJ20t, EJ22t and the VG30dett. The VG30 was a holy nightmare because of the limited room in the engine compartment. I don't see how the VX is going to be easy to plumb, but then again, I don't have half of your fab skills.
What kind of manifolds are you thinking of?
