turbo off one 'header' rather than after both mani's?
turbo off one 'header' rather than after both mani's?
What are the opinions on running a t04e for example off one forward sweeping header(passenger side), and having the other manifold just go back to the exhaust?
Any significant losses over having both manifolds go into the turbo?
thanks

You dont' have to answer me... but how I learn best is my business. I don't like reading..i dont' learn that way. I like to discuss, then try stuff, screw up, then discuss what went wrong and try again :D

Don't do it. You will be using only half of your available exhaust gas to spool your turbo, and it will not spool as fast as it should.
Turbos add a good amount of back pressure. Having alot more back pressure on one side of the engine but not on the other will kill performance and most likely your engine along with it. You need to have things balanced out as well as you can, and you also need to have both manifolds feeding your turbo.
That idea=teh suck basically. Why would you do that? It's like having a twin turbo system, with only one turbo. Will produce no power, for a lot of money...
the only way that would work is if you had that setup on each side of the motor. run forward sweeping headers into a pair of turbo's. then run the piping back to the rest of the exhaust from there. I don't know if it would fit, but it's yet another idea.

Okay, thanks for the opinions...that's all I wanted.
Basically I had a guy look at my car and suggested he could make a custom manifold for the passenger side, but didn't seem interested in doing the driver's side.
I know from reading threads on here that the idea has been considered ineffective, but I wanted some new opinions on it seeing as there are a lot of people talking turbos these days [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyways, as it turns out, my buddy and I misunderstood each other. What he's suggesting is a forward sweeing header on the passenger side, but route the drivers side around and into that header...
I've so far not encountered any opinions that suggest the distance from each header to the turbo has to be the same...this should work good no?

I don't think it would work well. you would have the driver side gasses hitting the passenger side ones and creating very ineffective flow. It would allow for a lot of backfiring to occur I would believe, if the exhaust from the driverside where to ever go into the passenger side header.
