Yeah they just dropped early April. They are a 1.05 stainless housing. I wish they were out a few days earlier. When I spoke with the guys at Precision they thought the .81 v bands would really shine around 1000 but would max around 1100. I'm not sure but they should be pretty close to drop in for your setup.

I just called precision. The lady told me the 1.05 stainless vband inlet ex housing is a direct replacement for the .82 that I have now. That means it is still t3 based and probabily not ideal for a max effort build but still an improvement over what I have now. If I ever step up to 67’s I will go with them.

She did suggest I monitor my exhaust pressure so I know if the .82’s are hurting me. Seems like good advice.

I thought it was still a T3 housing. Do you have an exhaust pressure setup currently? I talked to Goertz briefly about one a while ago.

Headers coming along...kinda. But should be finished tomorrow. I really like welding Stainless steel. To me it is much easier than aluminum but aluminum is not bad though.

Yeah. I ordered a couple extra bends for the headers just in case. The others are for the wastegate charge and discharge, and turbo charge. Luckily I didn't need them yet. I'll be done with them tomorrow.

Getting close. Just ran out of argon. Back purging is a bottle killer. But I was able to get measurements to make my input pipes and the rest of the hot side!

Glad to see a FMIC being installed. I've always though the 6th gen ZL1 front bumper was just an invitation for just such a design!

Looking forward to the results.

Thanks, but this is just a lowly old SS. But I like the front mount stuff may do air to water if air to air doesn't work out as I'd like.
