Alright every one, got a 85 ranger doing a motor swap a 75 2.8L mustang II motor new cam, 4bbl carb all the good stuff. and im planning on turboing it(which is sad cause im such an all motor guy but my 302 swap wasnt working out so well and want cheap quick hp) any way they dont make turbo manifolds for a 2.8 of course so i was gonna fab something up a flanged end that would fit the turbo on the end of my exhaust manifold. this got me thinking.... manifolds a restrictive when it comes to exhaust flow which is why its a turbo manifolds are like a header design i was wondering would i lose any and if so would it be much power? even though the compressor on the turbo will compress the air. lets hear from you guys.
