      The example was to show the ITBs+turbo. I have thought this over and over, it comes down to a regular intake manifold

        Well something happened to my account and it messed up some of my thread posts. I think it's fine now... I hope

        So I made my mind up on what I'm going to run for the intake manifold. I found this design ( http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127863 ) It's called a twin manifold, and I'm very sure it works like it says. I already got the flange with the welded runners from my ITBs. I'm going to get some aluminum sheet metal from "discount steel" and give it a try. For the throttle body, I'm going to use a Ford 68mm. I will get it bench flowed when I'm done with it.

        I also found that "discount steel" is going to be my best friend when I'm working on this build. They got 3" 304 SS pipes that I will need when I do my v-band turbo back exhaust, pipe bending, sheet metal for the intake manifold, TIG, etc... I can't wait to start on this!

          $105 on 3 3" v-band flanges for the exhaust. Made out of SS 304, I'm getting them through eBay (cheapest I could find @ $35 a piece) Here is a pic.

                    a 60mm gate is way to big for a 60-1, i know plenty of guys using 38mm on t70 @15psi with no problems
