Ive learned a while ago to size the runner to the power...not to what the head port is. My current theory is 90 gross HP per square inch of manifold runner area. Which on my car dictated 1" diameter runners. It felt so weird and wrong. But gotta keep the gases hot and fast to expand thru the turbine not before it. My "micro-tube" manifold has been treating me very well and I have awesome response and torque to the point where I have to deliberately numb my boost control curve to keep the rods in 😂
Looks good dude. All sounds perfectly logical. Subscribing to this!

love the simplicity of the design. looks well good !
Nice progress on the build 😎 looking forward to the next update. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Woah! That is a gigantic turbo!
Great project, coming along very nicely. What have you used to coat the manifold?
that looks so good in there! good stuff. awesome idea with the air box too
Do you have a video or videos on how you decided to use a 1.8T, and how you adapted it to the transaxle or if you used a VW transaxle or something?
Looking good, a Turbo beanie will cook the turbo.
