    Just have to get the downpipe welded up by my brother's neighbor. Hoping to be running on 12-15psi sometime next week.

          Yes. The runners in the manifold are 47mm, which means the stock 60mm throttle body is the system restriction for cross sectional area. Increasing to a 90mm throttlebody allows the intake piping to behave somewhat like a plenum and should increase the intake manifold performance a whole lot, IMO.

            Moar photos added.

            The 4" downpipe can't fit with a straight shot down, so I ordered another 4" vband set so we can finish that big bitch up.

                  That means a ton coming from you Otis.

                  Anyone who needs a manifold, do not waste your time trying to mock one up, it's so tight in there. You can't even install the studs first with the engine in the car. Just pay the man.

                        Finally got it tuned today, and holy christ that is an intoxicating sound. Running 8-10psi, 1bar+ as soon as my EBC parts arrive

                          Congrats! You know we are going to need pictures and video, of course. Can't leave this with such a tease...

                            Here is a quick vid for sound. It can't be driven over 3500rpm at half throttle because it hits the 9.5psi boost cut I have set. Doing the closed loop boost control install this weekend.

                              Got closed loop boost control working almost immediately, only slight overruns which should be easy to dial out. Car is autotuning set to target 12ish psi for boost now. Need to do ARPs, spark plugs, and wrap my downpipe before going up to 15psi.

                              Also need to finish 4" exhaust for registration purposes and build a quick E85 tune to pass emissions
