    If you wanted to, you could turn a single pipe into dual pipes without compromising flow by dividing the diameter by the square root of 2. Or you could turn it into three pipes with the square root of 3. So for equal flow to 4" you can do twin 2.75" or triple 2.25" and any of those (as well as the base 4 inch) should be good for around 660 crank HP with truly zero restriction. If you bumped it up to 4.25" you could do dual 3" or triple 2.5" and that would be good for 740 crank hp with zero restriction. If you want I could also give you the formula for ballpark HP flow of exhaust pipe based on CFM to diameter ratio.

    1-4 and 2-3 pairs for twin scroll (and for N/A, too) is actually the correct way to do it as far as my research has led me to believe. Love seeing a long tube turbo manifold, so many seemingly fail to learn about these. Bout the only thing you could do to improve this design outside of materials (321 stainless, 2mm wall) would be to make the primaries and secondaries have stepped diameters for even more anti-reversion. No doubt, being long tube is already a huge benefit to lowering pre-turbine back pressure and improving your EBP to Boost ratio, but anti-reversion mods to the exhaust ports and manifold also help, and all the small things add up across an entire build.

    I'm surprised you didn't make a removable hatch on the intake manifold. Had you considered adding directional vanes inside the manifold? They'd be similar to turning vanes in a piece of air duct but to help spread the intake air towards the outer runners.

Short of flying to Japan. I had big plans like this build when I was younger but had no funds. Now I have the funds, hopefully the parts are still available. I already have a jdm pajero 3.5 that was not easy to find. Thanks, great build!

    If you had narrowed the slot in the plenum until it's the same area as the throttle body opening it would be a dual plenum intake which have great air distribution. Aside from a tiny bit slower throttle response and maybe a few dozen milliseconds longer to reach full boost, there shouldn't be any real disadvantages to having a plenum that large
