Very. I'm liking this more and more every time I think about it. It wouldn't really be that hard to start things off, as far as aquiring the parts, but I'm gonna need to do some research and figure out how to figure runner length, and whether or not I include the length of the throttle body in measuring overall length. Measure from the throttle plate back, or from the mouth of the trumpet. Plenum volume and shape. Ya know. All that technical ish.

Runner lngth calculated from beginning of trumpet to back of valve. Should have pics of my Trumpet/Throttle body/velocity tube next week. Of course just one piece of many for this project.

Eventually I would like an ITB setup for my V8. I have been watching you guys on this. Very doable for the Busa bodies and would be the route I would go as DIY. As for Vacuum booster delete, I just recently finished developing a Bolt-on Dual MC housing for the Tilton/Wilwood MCs. The Single MC pushrod is simple enough,but the dual MC setup is much nicer/adjustable. All you do is call Tilton and let them know what car/brake set-up you are running and they point you to the MC choices...

I have seen these first hand, and in use (on a bmw).
The qaulity is excellent in my opinion.
I am currently building a 3.1liter turbo and am using these.
I will post pictures in a couple of weeks.
I have been working with Kevin (Extrudabody owner) on this for a little while.

Just looking at the pics above though.. the exhaust header is ridiculously close to the bottom master cylinder. (use that as rear cylinder in the very least?!) I would wrap the header and use a piece of metal as a shield.
Im keeping the master cylinders inside the firewall. Curious why you didn't go that route since you've completely changed over and needed the engine bay space?

Because I designed it to be 100% Bolt-on. And yes, a Turbo style alloy heat shroud is all that is needed and cheap/simple to make. The Tilton housing comes with a biasing balance rod too
