3) Superchargers heat soak badly, and I live in Texas.
4) Familiarity, I have had built three other turbo cars before.

this manifold had the flanges machined by ats racing since they came slightly warped.. it definitely is a snug fit, as is all the 3" exhaust piping

Right on, that's kind of what I have been reading. Seems like it could be a good setup with a decent turbo, bov and wg. Looking forward to seeing more pictures
