In terms of TS (divided) T3, there aren't many exhaust housings available, as TS T4 is the norm. However, if you can find what you need in a TS T3 flange, I'd say go for it.

(PS, I'm speaking purely from turbo knowledge, as I know nothing about MSPs).
I appreciate the input, i think much of the turbo info can be carried over from car to car. Im curious about the compressor side of the turbo, and if the turbo will be affected by putting the compact TO4B housing. To my understanding the TO4B housings were designed for the GT28 series so Im not sure if it will affect the choke and surge of the GTX30.

As what was discussed earlier, I would go for the T4. If you are concerned about room in your engine bay, I would suggest the Tial SS housing for the GT28 and a custom 321 stainless turbo manifold with Burns Stainless v-band merge collector.

The JMF manifold looks like a good design and will be better, way better, than the Steedspeed one. If you are concerned about underhood temps, then send the manifold to Calico Coatings to be ceramic coated, this coming from a rotary dude where we are plagued with under hood temps. And as for cracking, I doubt that will happen (on this manifold at least). You would have to be running some wild boost, have a craptastic tune and something not hooked up right.

Do it once and do it right.

I know all of TST is just dying to know whats up with the MSP, so I figured id do a quick update. Since the last update I now have about 2000 miles on the engine and its all good so far. Ill just make a list below of some of the stuff that I recently changed to the car.

-Relocated battery to trunk
-Installed XC Reverse Cowl CF Hood
-Rewired gauges
-Installed a Painless Wiring kit so that the Microtech and gauges have an independent power source with fuses.
-Installed a Painless Wiring fan kit- allowing me to turn on the cooling fans when I want to.
-Installed Corksport front strut bar.
-Replaced front and rear swaybar bushings.

Other than that nothing has really changed on the car; im going to see the guys at PSIProformance this week to see what im going to do about getting a new exhaust built. I have future plans of getting a bigger turbo and better manifold but that's all in due time.

Im not really doing a good job at keeping this thread updated. Only update is that I did see the guys at PSIProformance and had them build me a 3" exhaust, with a vibrant race muffler. I haven't had much time to work on the car, between the regular job and working for SpeedSource on race weekends. But I do get to work on something a little cooler. haha
