Here's what you do, if you want to do a great setup. Ditch that dinky log manifold. The 745 and the TCD manifold are a joke for making power and having an efficient system. Talk to Andreas at PPF about getting yourself a nice tubular M30 header...they know how to do those. Get a B35 for super cheap at a junkyard...PnP the head, bigger valves, etc. The M30 really needs it. Put the head back on with ARP studs and an MLS gasket (VAC sells 'em). Have WebCams regrind you a nice turbo cam. Extrude hone B35 manifold. Buy Megasquirt II setup, run full fuel+spark and MAP. Buy turbo of choice (I'd go with a GT35R, personally). Get LWFW and a suitable clutch+PP. Fabricate, assemble, and tune. Bam, you have a quick spooling, very efficient, very powerful setup! And after all is said and done, just yank the B34 motor and sell it, along with all the other spare stuff you have around. The best part, if you and your friends can do most of the install+fab work, it really won't cost alot of money. Now go get some power!

No big thing to do either, thee is a few really good tig welders around here I know, or worst case i just go to Ohio and have a custom full manifold made from a guy I know.
