helluva weight savings.
what about the benefit of the twin scroll? do you lose it? or is there a twin scroll avail in the v band housing?

id imagine lining up a split round v-band housing would be near impossible to line up perfectly, or atleast would be a total pita to get it close

was thinking that same, thats why i was asking about if it would kinda hinder performance.

Absolutely Retarded!
Giving up the twin scroll to save 14lbs is straight ludicrous.
Have you guys done any dyno testing? How much longer does it take to spool? What are the A/R comparisons?

the test mule got faster vs the divided, he is deep into the 7's

sorry, can't tell you much else, guess you will have to wait and see
we wouldn't have released them if they hurt performance in anyway

Re: TiAL GT42 SS housing vs Standard Cast Piece (TiAL)
having air flow in circular design is generally better then any cast iron square inlet housing. pipes are always round for a reason.
what size inlet is that??

ha ha every company will say that about their products lol, if it isnt to improve performance but its to help make things easier to bolt up and look nice than say so, but if its to help performance please tell us how this will help compared to a twin scroll housing
is this housing designed for looks or performance? if its performance please tell us and show us how it is done

you will also be able to clock it to the right a bit so you dont' have to smash the water pipe if the turbo is in stock position

how about a design with 2 smaller vbands side by side???pivoting is less important to some people..

Re: TiAL GT42 SS housing vs Standard Cast Piece (SwappedTURBOegg)
The divided housings make a significant improvement in spool and response, but that's not nearly as important on a drag car. I could definitely see power improving with these over a standard divided inlet housing. Most of the people in the market for stuff like this are driving race cars, and giving up a little spool and response for power is a good trade off. I would run this housing on a hot rod car in a second!
