Full Version: Tubular headers for the 2.3 T?????

What kind of power could a tc have by putting tubular headers on!! I think that I have a place that makes them just for our cars, would anyone be interested in this????
I was just talking to a turbo rebuilder about this.
He said the gain in hp would be substantial depending on turbo, cam choice and port work.
Ideally the header is more about tuning each cyl for equal burn rates wich balance the engine.
A properly tuned engine makes more hp.
Who's your connection? There's been a few on this site(as well as t-ford) that make (or are going to???) make a header for our motor!
Believe me, Hooker, Hedman, and Doug Thorley have no interest in producing one for us!!!
