Not mine but this is probably one of the best pics I've seen:



and this is the thread it came from

and here are a few pics of the JanSpeed set up on Turbo Phil's site

Finally Phil's mate Mike has done a side turbo conversion which look pretty smart, but I don't think I've got any pics of it.

Opinon is devided as to the importance of equal length primaries on a road engine so a simple log type could be used. Before I get shot down VW, along with several other manufactures, use log type manifolds with the turbo at one end for packaging. Now don't get me wrong, if you want the best performance you will do all you can to keep things equal and the exhaust pulses even. It all depends on what your looking for, big numbers or a gutsy daily driver.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Equal length on a turbo setup isnt that important. ANd given teh Siamese ports of the mini....what is going to be equal for eac cylinder ???

Build a free flowing, non restrictve setup, and it will work great. Sure even a restrictive log setup works just fine. Unless you are pushing extremes, simple works best.

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
