T_T;;; you're gonna need more than a header, t3, and bov for a turbo ...

well .. the ex header is SMALLLLLL ... I wouldn't recommend it ... you wouldn't be getting as much gains as a typical turbo manifold ... but ... I guess what floats your boat ...

I was looking at that as well...but won't the turbo get in the way of the A/C? Or the tranny? I hope it works for you, and definately keep us posted with your progress.
