Like I said Devin, Looks awesome. I'm just little concerned about all the weight IE: Turbo, Wastegate, Downpipe all supported off the tubular manifolds. I don't know how thick all the materials are, but thats my only real concern. Probably going to make great power though. Looks like more room between the primaries for spark plug access. I would think you will want to wrap those real well to keep the heat off of all the surrounding parts. But I think they look beautiful!

Might as well just been a log. I cant imagine it would make any more power than an aps or tti log manifold. Nice collector

Not trying to make more power. Just trying to remake the APS kit. Tim Lynch car made over 1300 horse with the cast ones. I am sure my tubular ones should make that same power. might flow a bit better.

also TTI has a good kit. but largest turbo is a PTE6266. Inspector12(Jeff) has PTE 6766 on his APS kit.

Thank you for your input. just trying to let you know where i am going.

Looks excellent. Very nice fab skills. How many hours did they take and what grade of stainless did you use?

Is there any way to shorten the runners to raise the turbo and allow it to gravity drain ala TTiX? Or, these manifolds would also be a good candidate for the Precision oil-less turbos and do away with the scavenge pump altogether.

PTE doesnt do Oil-less turbos.

honestly i like running a pump. or i know Jon from Speed Inc, ran a belt driven pump on his( if you have the fear of what if it dies.)

we ahve done a 6 in house swaps and sold close to 12 sets of the PTE turbos. LOVE the turbo

How does the system perform is the next question. It looks like a APS copy and we know they perform decent.

Blwn1, system is not released to the market yet.

Tjwong, should preform better. Aps kit came with gt35 turbos. This will come with 3 options for Vettes. 6262(compairable to gt35 but flows a few lbs/min more), 6266, 6766

Apology for a dumb off topic question, but what spark plug boot protectors are those ?
