Arthursc2 are you running the standard hex that comes with the 1200hp kit? I'm thinking that kit with the 101 type hex. It's like 24*7*3.5.
Also..
I'm trying to figure out if 2.5 vs 3 inch ic piping is gonna make any difference. I know ppl are over 1000 HP with 2.5, but my concern is spool time. Does it matter at all? I would think 2.5 would be better. Thanks again guys

I am running the "Type 100" 24x14x1
I am all 3.5" on my build, except I taper up to 4" at the TB
It matters on long runs, for sure. For what you're after, I'd rock 3". Plenty good

Finally have a decent pile of parts waiting to be thrown on. Got all the hot parts, which weren't too bad quality considering. The turbo log needed a ton of clean up inside and out. Spent like 3 hours straight on it then cooked some high temp ceramic paint on, mainly for rust protection. I don't care for the o2 spot right before the turbine inlet so gonna add a second to the downpipe for my wbo2. Got the turbo oil feed pieces and the marmon to v band adapter. Also the wastegate flange piece for relocation.
Since it's cooling off here in CO I decided to keep it a simple a2a between the frame rails with 3 inch pipe. If it doesn't work well in warmer weather then it'll get swapped out.
Gotta get the oil return stuff coming along with wg and bov. Will order that today.
What size and type lines should I grab for the reference lines? Silicone 1/4 or 1/8"? Nylon better?
Probably gonna go ahead and order a Mac valve to setup a controller with Arduino. Mainly because it's fun, and controllers are over priced considering what you can get done with a little coding. It will be nice to have control any way I want.
