Why do you need a turbo header manifold? Why not a log style?

header style = better heat displacement and better horsepower as in like more horsepower than log style

So you are shoting for 500+ horsepower? If so great, if not then not needed.
I know a place in Jacksonville (well Orange Park) that can do it. They made the first Ecotec Turbo kit back in the day. SpeedFab.

well as my thinking is that every little bit count and everywhere i read and i had several speed shops i have talked to about this have told me ( with dyno sheets as well ) that they have gained at least 30 - 45 HP just by switching from log to header style




and i appreciate the info ....... any phone # by chance ?

I just thought of someone in your area that can build this. He has built a log/header already. He knows what he is doing and does great work. Catch himon AIM JLAUDIO29. His name is Jimmy

How's this coming along? Did you get anybody to do it yet?Gato is a cool guy just gotta leave him the car for a few days and hell do it for you 800-1000 Is what he told me.You figure the vulcan one is going to be 605-plus 43 to put the external wastegate then the shipping so it will be about the same.

Well i have a header style one coming we can try it on your car if everything clears, We could bring it to gato and see what he will charge to copy it.Only difference should be the wg flange.
