just an example

http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T3-Stainless-steel-304-TURBO-MANIFOLD-ADAPTER-38MM-WASTEGATE-FLANGE-OUTLE-/252383321270
it still uses the stock flange. I would need to weld on the t4 flange. the plan is to get it running. then start to play with the tune ,turbo and waste gate. I have all the stuff to put the t3/t4 on it. turbo, flange, waste gate, my CB proformanice ecu and injectors from the 2332Vw motor.

for the 2.3 i am building i wanted a ss manifold with the collector in stock location to re use the 3 bolt turbo support bracket ford built. i like the idea of supporting the turbo from below to ease the hit to the manifold. now no one offers a ss manifold with collector in stock location with an external wg port so i bought one like i posted but made out of ss so rather than bolt it on i am going to tig it on so no gasket needed lol the turbonectics stage 3 turbo i have has no internal wg and that is fine as i plan on 30 to 35 psi boost anyways with 120 lb to 135 lb inj's on e85.

Where would you add bars?  I could see a camberg clamp set up between the cross bars midpoint over the motor before the top cage for flex reasons, but where else could / would you put them?

What is you plan for the intercooler since the radiator would be blowing hot air directly in to it with your current setup? I know Outfront told me to put a fan on mine to additional draw air across it. You could possibly mount it backwards with a fan. I have also seen side scoops to feed fresh air too. A buddy of mine did this  on a customers car....
Its better to be a smartass than a dumbass!

just taking measurement's of my buddy's car. The scoop intake will be above the radiator. may need to add a deflector to direct the air down a little from the radiator. but with that being said, I do like the looks of this set up.  I'm sure your buddy made the scoops. but I thank, I have seen some nice fiberglass ones out there.

Sorry for the hold up on the pictures I'll get them on here this after noon for sure.  Just been swamped trying to get ready for Idaho and lots of new work at the shop.

looking at img. 1701. I have tacked in a bars coming down the side, following the  body line from the front of car.  this adds a boxed area right in front of the bar. my thought is, will it help, to tie it into the upper cage, coming down the back of the car? i thank this is the same area your saying to x.
