I received my $$$ Ahnendorp crank and header

There will be some work to fit the header for the turbo with the factory cooling, but the ahnendorp header seemed easier to extend.
I'm also wondering if the slip joint on the header will be sufficient for a turbo application or if I should weld them.

That slip joint will be fine: i used the same header with my first turbo applications 😉

Yes, it is one of the two reasons why I bought this header. :D

Wally, would you happen to have advices on which turbo, compression ratio I should run with my 44x40 heads, web 163 (standard LC) camshaft? And about the diameter of the intake. I will need to get started on this as soon as I am done with the headss.
