Very cool man. Like I said, jealous.
Thanks. The twin kit was on CTS-V manifolds. Not sure if the C6 stuff is the same. Single kit is KB Racing. Both kits have room for AC. Single kit requires a modified AC low side hose due to turbo/downpipe size.

Very cool. If I remember correctly, the V/C6 are the same or very similar. Did you run the TT kit? Like the single better? I like the small twin idea....but not picky when it comes to turbocharged power.

I have only had this intake on this engine with the turbo, so I have nothing to compare it to. I really only have it for looks too. I was not the happiest with the alignment of the ports to the head, but you can slide it back and forth before you tighten it down to get it pretty close. I also do not like the heat soak it has when sitting for a couple minutes. It will get as hot as your heads after a few minutes. I do think it is a fairly decent tunnel ram style intake for the money. My next build will have the knock off sheet metal intake for the LS3 style heads.

The twins spooled faster but the single borg sounds better lol. I just like to experiment.

Nice!

I have those A2W IC's that we sell. Looks like a nice place for one. I have been meaning to walk outside and mock out where I could put one, if I went A2W. Thanks for saving me the time lol. Think I will go A2A though since i have acquired several and are laying around.

The intake looks great. I understand about the heat soaking. I had a heat extractor coating put on my compressor housings for my vette a while back, supposed to help draw out the heat. May be an option for the aluminum manifolds.

I hear that lol. I had 2 turbos, 2 wastgates layi9ng around, gave them to my cousin for his TT GTO(which runs awesome) a while back. So I would like twins but,,,.,.cost wise,...much easier for me to come up with mula for just one lol. I want my truck quiet as possible. I don't mind turbo noise but,,..my car is so loud,...I REALLY like the quietness of my truck lol.

Default Holley hi ram

I have a holley hi ram and the only reason I purchased it was because it came with fuel rails. When a buddy received his edelbrock pro flow xt I noticed his intake has multiple vacuum ports all over it. Whereas the holley hi ram only has the one port in the back of the intake.

Are the multiple vacuum lines a necessity? I haven't even looked at my stock intake to see what all junk is there.
