Re: Project: "BTA" Boosted Trans Am.....
These turbo's are pretty freaking heavy Fast, how strong are those headers, and will you be offering additional bracket support for the turbo(s) themselves (similiar to that bracket bar that holds the A/C compressor in place)....?

You can have additional bracing, but the headers are designed for a single turbo on a FWD car. They are 14ga mild steel, and I welded the primaries anywhere they cam close to touching. I can make the similar ones out of weld elbows to be more sturdy if you don't want to worry about extra bracketry.
I'll be pulling the 3.1 out of the Firebird as soon as I have time (hot commodity, lol), an dit will be used as a mock-up motor with iron heads.
Also want to build some long tubes...
I should have my TIG soon and we will be able to make the out of SS as well.

Great to see this back form the dead. I was just thinking about this project the other day, while dreaming about mine.
