I guess I was just wondering, stock appearing 1G obviously is diffrent than a 2G. So if us 2G guys can run a tdo5/16G that would help out a little.

From my understanding a couple years ago was that all it had to have was stock exhaust/intake manifold.

So from my understanding I could run some crazy turbo as long as it was bolted to a stock exhaust manifold with a heat shield.



MAP guys, any idea when you might create the rules?

[turbotalon1g]

what? hmm bolton 67mm time!!!

[CornFed2.4]

Yeah I'd like to see some rules too. Their not as strict as buschnuts are they? I found a few evos and I really dont need to sell all my parts ;)

I don't have an ETA on when we'll be able to set the rules in stock, but I know you guys are trying to plan around it so I'll do my best. In regards to what will fly and what won't I don't see any MHI turbo being an issue, its the E cover or larger T3 based stuff that should probably be classed separately, do you agree?

[turbotalon1g]

That sounds like a good rule to me.

Yarp. Base it around the actual flange on the turbo IMHO, it's not like any of the 3" inlet stock-frame turbos are literally "stock appearing" anyways...yes they are close but not in the truest sense of the term. External WG's, tubular manifolds, whatever...as long as it has a mitsu twin-scroll housing on it, let it fly. Maybe make the inlet restriction 3" or something?

Or just have a panel of random girls (in bikinis of course!) standing there and ask them, does it look stock or not? And depending on how they vote, that is the class you are in!

Someone is pushing to get their big stock appearing turbo in. :drive:

I don't know about tubular exhaust manifolds, apparently there is a guy with a FFM and a S366, but he is going to put on a 68hta to try and rock the stock class.

Base it on the flange? Lol.

This is getting rediclous. Might as well just base classes on inducer size. There is no way to make this even between different makes and models.

EX:
class 1 1 power adder up to X inducer / X NOS jet size, full interior, full exhaust, radial tire.

class 2 1 power adder up to Y inducer / Y NOS jet size

outlaw unlimited power adders unlimited wheel/ tire combo
