    Out of all 3 the wrinkle wall should break fewer parts at the track in a manual transmission car. It really depends on what you will be doing with the car. All I know is a high power FWD is a little odd on the street, but to each is own.

    Who me? I'm still sniffing around for parts. I have a lot of things to do if it's going to happen.

    No I was asking dallas. but you too.

    sounds like challenge on that vette with air and ps but I know you could do a nice job of it.

    Ed, I have these ls crate motor manifolds you can borrow for possible turbo fitment. Got them brand new off ebay for like $50. but the flange bumped something on my setup so they didn't work for me.

    just make sure you get anything that is "custom" ordered/done in the winter time. like custom intakes or exhaust manifolds, exhaust components, machine work etc. everyone is backed up in the spring time. off the shelf turbos may not be an issue but sometimes those get backordered too in the spring.

    its always safer to build over the winter, machine shops and resalers like me are bored in the winter and more then willing to offer deals. then all of the sudden I can't get off the phone come tax return time and warm weather
