    yea as far as manifolds go....

    i think im going to pick up a set from my buddy who has a muffler shop, theyre for a vg pathfinder, but i plan on cutting them up for the twin turbo project

    plans have changed slightly for the car, its going to be more track biased, and im looking for 550-600 crank hp, i also dont mind cutting or "massageing the firewall, etc ;p
    cutting them up huh? Are you planning on weldind turbo flanges to them or somthing along those lines? If so keep in mind that welding on cast iron generally doesnt work to well. People have done a couple of waste gates welded to the stock manifolds ad it has worked out fine but I would think that a whole turbo flange would be pushing it. IF that is indeed what you are talking about.

        i meant to say aftermarket headers, sorry, and yes, i plan on welding the turbo flanges to them

        the engine runs, but i will be doing a complete teardown on it, and having it sent out to be blueprinted and balanced, then i will put it together to get it running initially....

        im looking at low boost to get the car running, then with a lot of tuning and upgrades... 600hp
