My intake will be one piece. The upper manifold is welded directly onto the LIM. It has changed a bit in the design from the previous setup, but I like this new design a lot more. It is a once piece setup that allows for no boost leaks anywhere. I might be able to get some pics up as soon as the final welding of the TB flange is done.
Tbat- These Holsets are supposed to spool ridiculously quick for their size, and should get the job done. It is a big turbo, though, so who knows?
A bit of an update also, I am wiring up the turbo timer today along with the nitrous switches. Got the oil feed line tee'd in and the Racetronix/Walbro 255 fuel pump in the tank (Finally). It is seriously just as slow as the supercharged setup. Now I see why people just spend the money and buy kits that make things easy.
