that looks like one hell of a manifold! Very nice path on the extranal WG...flows back into the collector down stream. Any word on what size snail that is?

Ugh....just when i get out of adding turbos to cars, here comes stuff like this.,...

Oh my, that's pretty! I just drooled all over my keyboard. I don't even want to know what it costs. I've run out of kids to sell.

That's probably a 2 1/2 kid manifold!

I am confused. Is that for if you wanted to turbo your mini and gut the supercharger or for a diy twincharge kit or is that for the 2007 MINI?

Not a very good shot... have to wonder if they hid the upper collector on purpose.

From what I can see, I'm not a fan.

More annoying is:

For more information on these and other Supersprint projects check out the Projects section of our website.
...which, of course, brings you right back to where you started.

i would agree. The collector section of the manifold looks like it would be super cramped and have some really tight bends. Besides that this thing looks great. I am seriously looking into getting the turbokompressor kit from helix right now, but maybe i should hold off till i hear some results from this thing.
