Great setup! Curious to see when that GT45/80 runs out of steam boost wise. What do you plan to turn it up to?

 

How are those ebay headers working out? I plan on getting some. Are they the $500 set? How is plug access and do they interfere with any brake lines or the shock towers?

 

Headers are great! Yes, they're the $500 stainless set. Plug access kinda sucks, but you'll have that with any forward facing headers. I get them easily from below. No interference with shock towers, but pretty damn close to brake lines from master. I'm going to Make a heat shield to stop brake fluid from getting hot in really heavy stop and go traffic (in hot summer days). I have no complaints at all and showed a local header builder them and he said it's a no brainer cuz he wouldn't make a pair like that for under $1000. Even if you had to have somebody slightly modify them. Good luck!

 

I still haven't turned it up or pushed the limits, but here's a recent thread with a dyno clip
