turbo header problems.
hello,
first, ive been reading on this site for a few months gathering info for my turbo project, which is now officially starting. this is my truck i am starting with.....its a 4.0 v6 6 speed. i have got the turbo picked out, and learned that at my boost level (8psi goal) there is no need for a 500$ + intercooler. now, i need help with the headers. there are no kits, so i will be making it myself. i have not found any difinitive asnwers, even at the library on the size of the primaries. i picked up an oem exhaust gasket, and the holes are 2.00 on it. should i just make the tubes that size? i do not want to make them too big and loose my exhaust velocity. also, what size should i run after the collector, 2" on each side to the turbo? thanks for the help, i did search but was unable to find the data i was looking for.

Re: turbo header problems.
Nice project.That will be fast with some boost providing you can get some traction.I would go with the same size as the stock for the tubes.Investing in a intercooler would be a good idea.What are you oging to use for engine management?Keep the updates coming as that looks like a awesome project
