MobyTheVan who'd you steel your turbo from (125 wow!!) I was thinking of using a 3 inch downpipe and in the places that fitment is tight I was going to use oval tubing.

TTSBC280z I know what you are saying I feel like with the money I'd spend on heads alone I could have a good turbo setup and have the potential for bigger gains.

How did you do your mock ups? I was thinking of using PVC piping (keeping in mind the bends are not 100% accurate) to give me a mock up of my piping and allow me to adjust fitment and placement also to view possible problems before i start to weld up actual piping i'm hoping to keep costs down and make production very easy. IE pull out pvc template and then build my complete hot/cold side outside of the car and just bolt it up and in, any tips good idea or bad?

i would build it piece by piece and test fit after every single piece is welded because when piping is welded it tends to move around a bit depending on where and how its cooled.
