That was in some magazine recently. I think it was in the new Turbo mag and it was some kit for the Tundra. I think it would be a good idea for a v6 or v8 and not have to mess around with the two manifolds but for a inline engine it wouldn't be worth it.

what whitley said, this has been discussed many times, and i think we concluded that there were many benifits/disadvantages to it. oil line problems, turbo lag, the fact of scraping it on driveways and such...
