I have a site through Microsoft, I get 404 not founds when I try to access the upload pages and such. I'll see if its working tomorrow and contact them if it isn't. Its definilty something wrong with MS's stuff though...

Pics are back, I'll have to get some of my exhaust and some more detail pics (oil pressure/return/coolant/timing belt).

Exhaust





Some timing belt pics







Dipstick, its got a tab welded to it that goes on that bottom intake bolt

I have been reading there are some good gains to be had with a good efficient X-pipe design. May want to investigate that. Not that you will have any shortage of power with that excellent build!!

[90TurboVan]

I'd say X-Pipes make more of a difference with N/A applications, but I didn't do any research. It's really only there so it sounds like a four cylinder from either side of the van. Hopefully I can cure any power deficiencies with more boost

I was looking @ your header and was wondering how it would work if you hooked up 1+2 and 3+4 together instead of 1+4 and 2+3? It would be a lot easier to fab a maniflod and you wouldn't need to mod the firewall but what would be the negatives?

[90TurboVan]

The firing order is 1-3-4-2, connecting 1+4 and 2+3 separatly makes the turbos see a more even train of exhaust pulses since 1 and 4 fire every other cylce. It's like each turbo sees a 2 cylinder engine running at half the speed of the engine. I don't know if it makes any difference in spool if you to 1+2 and 3+4. I think DblTrbl did it that way with his twin turbo shadow?

[finallall]

I'm just wondering theoreticly. You're getting 2 pushes every other time as opposed to 2 little ones every time. Anyone knows how it would work in either example? In theory. What are the + and - to eather way?

Thanks, Alex.
