Acutually just read your cardomian page...Very well documented and looks solid...I would raise the turbo though, the roads here in Louisville can be unforgiving.

I don't want to sound completely ignorant but does the turbo still spool that far from the manifold? I'd think that it would lose alot of its heat/energy by the time it travels the five odd feet through the exhaust...

The closer to the actual exhaust ports you are, the better, but it appears that these remote mount setups don't seem to have problems spooling their turbos. I'd assume it wouldn't have as much "oomph" compared to say, a log, but it apparently does still work quite well.

There is 4.5" of ground clearance at the lowest point fyi. Ive been running it for 8 months no probs, but im moving the turbo up front soon. That infinity is sweet, much cleaner install than mine.

Yea let me order those gaskets and i can ship them to you directly i suppose, I have attached a jpeg drawing of the rough dimensions i need and a picture of the gasket. Now the thing is my exhaust outlets are oval shaped and I need the piping to transition smoothly from oval to round so ill let you measure the circumference of the oval and decide what diameter tube to start with for the runners. The welds and fab work really need to be show quality, can you tig weld these? What is your address and can you do $300 for both shipped? (no extra piping). Get back to me with the answers and we can get the ball rolling today hopefully.
