14b!!!!!........sigh, yeah yeah. I know it is too small for the engine blah, blah, blah. If all goes well with this setup then I plan on switch on turbo/manifold/dp to something like a T3.

Heres the DownPipe. Orignally it was made for a d series using an HF manifold. Lets just say it looked completly different when I got it. I hacked it up and rewelded it.

I think your turbo is to small bla bla bla. Im digging the crush bends. I hope you baced that mani with somthin because you gonna be pissed when you down pipe is scraping the road. Other then that it looks solid. :6

Looking pretty good.That charge piping and downpipe is gettho fabulous :y The 14b should be fine for now and later one just switch to something bigger when you get bored of the quick spool.The car itself looks nice and clean too :6

Looks good. What are the dimensions on that fmic? Your charge pipes looks great, for crush bends. Overall every thing looks good
