Turbo cars dont have headers, they have exhaust manifolds. IN this case the exhaust manifold is incorporated in the turbo. That is a **** poor design on the stock manifold by the way. I'm guessing they did that because of size constraints. Optimal exhaust manifold would be equal length.
Those are some cute baby turbos

SL65 VRP1000 and 20" Monolites
It's almost ready
The tranny is getting put together.
The cam is almost done being reground. We are adding about 0.025" of lift and adding about 30 deg of duration (I think). I still need it to pass emissions.
The heads and intake should be done, waiting to get installed.
The exhaust tips are getting welded in place.
Hopefully next week we will be on the dyno.

Here's what I know
First off, I know that my car is in the August edition of European Car Magazine. Vadim sent me pictures from the photoshoot yesterday, so make sure and check it out.
I also know that the cams are back, and the head work is done.
I know that the trans was put back together.
I believe that they started to assemble today, and will finish assembly on Monday maybe Tuesday.
Hopefully on the dyno later next week.
Hope that helps.

I do not have any pictures that do not show anything new. Engine going in and out looks the same.
I am finishing the install next week and I will post pictures of finished kit. Tuning and dynos to follow.

Hi everybody.
I recently emailed the reputed tuning company MKB in germany about the mods they have for V12TT engines.
The answer was "we fit IHI turbos on those engines"
what do you guys think ?

MKB that is, but they are highly regarded in Germany no?
