    Ok sounds good....
    I am gonna try to get a turbo tomorrow for mock up this weekend ...
    I have prior experience in r&d at a r35 and 370z shop and have helped design turbo kits that were then mass produce ... So I have experience is design and function and can also fabricate ... If possible if I find some local interest I want to dyno test some different designs ....the money thing is gonna be the deciding factor in production... I try to make a superior product and I don't want to lower my standards to make a buck ... At the end of the day I have to support my family so I can eat.... I will see what I can do to make everyone happy but know that these take about a week a piece from start to finish to make and a decent amount in consumables everything is fully back purged so I use a lot of gas and it ain't cheap... On that not I hope to have it mocked up this weekend and try to get a prototype mocked up.. I also need to source a head flange that meets my expectations ... If anyone is local and has some interest in one please pm me

      I'd say try and borrow a holset HX35 since that's what most m20 guys end up running.

        Ok I'm not sure what turbo I'm going to have for mock up but I will try to leave room so it will fit different turbos... I'm going to go with a Borg Warner for mine so that's what I might use

              If you make a TS manifold that's not $1600 I think you'd have a TON of interest. I know how much time goes into it, but once you have something solid worked out, do a group buy. I think $1200 would be a fair price point for a split pulse top mount as far as the consumer end is concerned, don't know if that's a possibility or not.

                      Would be very interested in seeing a bottom-mount M20 option.

                        I agree would be pretty cool the only options for this is the cast log style. Would be cool to have headers that point down for the turbo. Makes ac more applicable as well.

                            I'll throw in a second request for a TS that will work with an IX. I'd take one even if it was >1000. That seems to be what revshift and JG were charging for what was perceived to be a superior product.
