Steve is too excited and put 12 psi at WOT. He meant the AFR is at 12 at WOT. I test drove his car last night around 11 pm along with JamesN. This is no joke. The car is very responsive and pulls like a rocket. The car felt very smooth from idle to redline. No pinging or anything. Love driving that car and he did a great job. Steve, any chance producing your kit for cheap so the public can do what you did instead paying $2,500 for a set of headers?

THREAD REVIVAL LOL ...Yeah so I have a XS Turbo Kit for a sc300 at home, but I have a 98 SC400 and was going to buy another sc300 for about $2000-3000. Today I just figured why not just use that kit on my 400. I am really new to the turbo scene, so I figured I can't use the turbo manifold and I have do a "Stock driver side header merged to custom passenger "Custom Saxophone" and become 2.5" to the turbo"? How much would something like that cost? Has anyone produced one since this build? What else would I need? I have the XS Turbo T-61, Intercooler, Oil Feed, Wastegate, HKS SSQV, Intake, and an AEM FIC 8..thanks

The T-61 is a good match for the SC400. If you need more info on this, P.M. me.

Thanks to Ryan for pointing out the bad link. That was because Lextreme site crashed and and the link was changed. I'm having a hard time locating that link also.
For those fellows that would like to see some pictures of the revised build, I'm sorry that I lost the pictures that show both manifolds on the engine.
And I'll be extremely lucky to be able to sell 2 kits in 5 years. Maybe I can sell my labor for food. LOL.

did you pull the motor to design the custom manifold? Where did you get your oil feed from? Also, were you able to retain AC and PS? And where in the system did you run the MAF?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm curious... Awesome build btw, it appears very clean for being done at home.

The oil feed was screwed into 1 of the 2 allen screws on the oil filter housing. I drilled and made a thread out of it.
The AC and PS are kept.
The MAF is in near its original place on the intake pipe.
