Thanks for the comments guys. This is one of the most fun projects Ive had the chance to do.

And that turbo is one of the smallest ones we have @ the shop but it still makes 375 hp, that a professional drift 240 btw

The manifold is one of my favorites and is meant for a RB26-RB25 in a R32-R34 Skyline chassis or S14-S13 240sx chassis. We have one customer making over 1,450 Awhp with that same manifold in a Skyline R34

And today the rain started pouring so no tuft testing on camera but I have noticed quite a few things while driving.

-Vg's seem to be effective between 35-65 mph

-Even opening the front windows a crack has quite an effect on the outer 1/3 of the tufts on the rear window. Interestingly the amount of the window being open has little effect on the tufts.

-Wind seems to be less of an effect @ freeway speeds, the Vg's make the car feel much more stable.

-No need for a rear wiper as my rear window drys itself even in pouring rain from 35-65mph

-I think some hybrid owners are jealous of my skirts, haha



Cant wait to fill and calculate my current mileage, I'm @ 300 miles and have a little over half tank left so I'm estimating 50-55 mpg.
