the kit we are working on will answer the oil and water cooling needs. i have been running endurance racing for the last 4 years and have a great cooling answer for the race car. we will be crossing that system with the FRS system

Nameless does make it, but I got basically the prototype piece. They plan on releaseing a turbo kit someday, and the 3" is geared more towards that. To whomever wants this piece (and the 3" midpipe is same type of deal), I always say call them and ask for it on the phone. Yes, I don't drive it much

Exhaust manifold flanges were a bit warped on the motor side. To this day I have a very small exhaust leak because of it.

So.... my exhaust leak finally got worse. Car is at @KAB-FRS shop, getting that leak fixed. For some reason today it got loud and clear.

I remember a while back you were asking for the downsides of turbos in a s/c thread, and this was my main complaint. Having been down this road before, exhaust leaks, rattles and heat are all a part of the game you have to play with a custom turbo car.

Hope it doesn't cost you too much to get it fixed. Are they machining the flanges?

Yeah, machining them. It will be some hours of labor work, but I am done using my spare time working on the car. I'll pay for them happy. I agree with your statement. But even with that, still no complains on my choice, I knew what I was getting into.

Updated Dyno graph (3rd post) image with proper file instead of paper picture.

So, today @KAB-FRS was able to uncover my exhaust leak

See below what it looked like, a couple of lost HP....










And after machining....
