Erik, I'm running an AVCR with mine. It's not really a custom exhaust setup.. it's more of a custom uppipe setup, hehe. I'm running a Tial 38mm, and I mounted it straight back towards the firewall, off the uppipe, between the uppipe and the downpipe. I have pics of it, and I'll try to get it up. You can run it with any turbo system.. it just eliminates the wastegate. It is supposed to help spoolup because you eliminate the wastegate gases merging with the exhaust gases coming out of the hot side of the turbo, hence, less backpressure.. but I haven't noticed anything different, spoolup-wise. It sure does hold boost like crazy though.

Richard.. the best way to explain it is, basically when you floor it.. you'll hear the turbo spoolin... then all of a sudden the wastegate opens up and it's super loud. Sorta like: ssssshhhhhhhhhh-BBAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I think it sounds badass, and the thing holds like a champ. By the way, the 38mm -should- be enough. That 531whp neon is running a 38mm @ 30psi and it sticks like white on rice. But if you want to go bigger, just skip the 40 and go with the 44mm. They're new, not that expensive, and come with V bands
