I would be interested in a intake manifold but it will need to fit a 928 tbody. No biggie I can always ship u one.

To save you time of getting everyones custom colored, you could just let us PC them at local places.

Good Idea on the Powder Coating. I will probably send them out blasted on the outside and polished on the inside. And different TB's are easy. I would jest need a template to make them up, I figured the factory one would be the best starting point.

I can say that even with the larger than stock turbo that low end tq is not an issue. That car is a tire shredder. I am impressed with this setup.

Hopefully soon we can all get to the dyno to compare numbers. It's interesting to me how somehow between the three-four of us we will cover a wide range of setups.

Mine .. High compression, big turbo...soon to be 4v
Yours.. Quick spooling 500 hp turbo,e85
Josh ... K27, e85...
Geoff... 26-8 otherwise stock std fuel.

So far , IMO your setup wins on a stock longblock for overall performance.

Update
5 Intake Flanges coming.
4 KKK Turbo Inlet Flanges coming
4 KKK Outlet Flanges coming (For 3" Down Pipes)
4 T3 Turbo Inlets coming
10- 3/8" Stainless one Piece Header flanges being Water Jetted
V bands on the way

I am also going to make a full set of Turbo Headers to a V band right before the Waste Gate connection. This will eliminate multiple flanges!

I will post pictures as they are all build.
I will show weld quality in and out on the Stainless and Aluminum.

Hi Dave.



But serious for a moment. This could spark a little revolution for guys wanting to use modern turbo setups. I for one, don't have the means to fab things like these up. But with guys like Dave stepping up and possibly mass producing(if there is such a thing in the 951 world) modern turbo plumbing for guys wanting to go in that direction, it could cause a major shift in what the overall power standard is for these cars and bring them to the next level.

How about an intake with S2 flanges?

For those of us who dream of putting a turbo on our S2 motors.

Is the spacing and bolt pattern on the head side the same?

I'm really interested on the Intake. Although price is also a factor.
