10v header: Downpipe

[David Vander Schaaf]

Hey Javad,

I'm a new poster to this list, although lurking for awhile, and have been
following your quest for more power for some time.  I must say, the new
header and downpipe look awesome!

My question is about headers and turbos.  I was under the impression that
turbos generate too much heat for headers to stand up to, and that cast iron
manifolds were preferred.  I know that my Porsche 944 turbo has a stainless
header, but the turbo is quite aways away.

I am curious for your thoughts on this.

Keep up the great work... and may we, that only dream of building similar
beasts, live vicariously through you and your turbo Audi. :)
