    You gave me that, and it's really not really healthy anymore...

              What is your plan for the intake of this car? I've seen quite a few people block off the throttle body and cut a new opening on the opposite side to eliminate the need for lengthy and weird intercooler piping.

                    Not for turbo.
                    Single throttle is best for turbo; I'm sure he will eventually want to change to a biggie size one

                      Dude, that 1.15 housing and big turbine wheel are going to make your car lazy as hell on an open scroll manifold.

                      You're not shooting for 800whp, why not run a 5858 or 6262? Similar peak power (6262 can make 700 with ease) with way more juice under the curve.

                      Just a thought, otherwise you might blow the welds on your intake manifold.

                      Also, you still planning on running pump?

                        Yes and no. Having a plenum full of charged air and ITB's, the throttle response would be slightly better, but not worth the extra expense/complication for no peak gains. Short runners and Large TB is more than adequate.

                          still going to run pump and methanol. If i dont like the turbo I'll simply sell, the 3.5L is strong outside of boost so I should be just fine.

                            is it possible to run the turbo oil feed from the filter housings lid? just tap or weld a bung to the lid. I saw this and it got me thinking, if not I'll just run off the oil pressure switch.

                              Yes. You can even see in the picture you posted that there's a pipe plug in the side of that lid... probably meant for adding a pressure sender.
