what manifold are you using?

[highboostingm3]

@AustinCole11: It's a crazy mesua-like near equal length custom manifold where cylinder runners 1,2,3 all come around to a 3-1 Burns collector as well as cynlinder runners 4,5,6 to another 3-1 Burns collector. Then a large runner from each collector run up to the turbo t4 flange. There is a wastegate runner coming out of each of those two runners and then a 2-1 collector to the massive 60mm NewGen wastegate. No boost creep with that sucka! ;-)

While I don't care for what you did to the exterior (although I appreciate the time and skill it took) what you did (if you yourself did it) under the hood is truly spectacular.

looks like an M50. it has no VANOS.

[highboostingm3]

It is a stroked/bored heavily built m50. Better for over 600whp because the head gaskets don't have as much of a problem failing. I had an s52 in there that I sold. Not enough girth between water jackets and cylinders therefore headgaskets don't last with high boost.

[highboostingm3]

New motor will be done soon. It is an m52 longblock with s52 cams, stroked and bored. Fully built.  So yes it has vanos.
