Heyyyy....I thought 10 lbs was pretty good...Anyways, yeap, I had a header on the CUSTOM turbo. It was actually a type-o b/c I'm used to typing i/h/e...But in actuality, it could have applied to the car. What I actually did was steal a X-shorty header originally made for a chevy. Had it coated, flipped it upside-down, and had a short elbow of piping welded onto the end of the flange, then bolted the turbo to the end of that. Only reason I ever did this was because of extreme rusting on the original turbo manifold when I got the car. Since I was upgrading the turbo anyways, decided to go with a new manifold as well. Decided to try this out just to see if it could be done. Worked ok, I supposed, no leaks thanks to some great fabrication by my exhaust shop.
