It'll definitely work effectively, although it's not the best way. I'm currently building a single turbo SC400 and I actually built this design with 90% done. However, I cancelled it because I didn't have enough ground clearance when my car is lowered. On each stock header, I used dual 1.5" totalling four 1.5" pipes up to the turbo and four 1.5" downpipes.turning the heads around is a lot of work.. this seems to be a lot easier.. but i am not sure how effective it is. what disadvanges will this setup have?

You're right. That theory also depends on other factors as well, such as the pipe diameter, how long the pipe is, and how big the turbo is. Let's say if you change both pipes (both sides) to 3", then you might have some lagging. The reality is several turbo kits are located all the way to the mufflers (long distance) and they still work. I heard the lagging is very minimal.You want a short pipe to the turbo, keeps heat in the pipe (more exhaust velocity), and better response.
You can just swap the headers over and get them facing forward pretty easy.
Yes it worked out very well, I have been boosting at 500hp daily for quite a while now.
You're that lextremist! :Eyecrazy: I only replaced the factory rubber bushings with polyurethane bushings and the handling/cornering have improved slightly. I can see that right away. And now you completly removed the lower swaybar, then you're hard to beat. It's not just about handling, I believe it's about safety, too. The swaybar somewhat holds the front wheels apart and make them straight. I can't sacrify this. :no:Well in theory it makes the car less rigid when cornering. I dont know if I have ever noticed a difference though. The bar isnt that thick to start with....
