Staying conventional considering I had a billet intake made for the 632.

It was only $3,500 has billet runners fabricated top. I just wasn't sure with the hardware I had it would crack 1,000hp on pump gas. I figured it would be close. So, when in doubt spend more money. I know it will crack 1,000 now. Now all my buddies I boat with are getting rid of there fast singles and buying gay center consoles with egg beaters. WTF! That has a lot to do with why the motor hasn't gone together yet. Who am I gonna beat up on now?

Only trick to doing turbos right is a watercooled manifold. Which is no small task.

Or send the inconel headers to a place in Florida that does the offshore diesel fishing boats and have them wraped with the ceramic.

Or just do what all the other Marine turbo engine builders do and throw a water blanket over the turbine housing and call it done.
