You are obviously set on a draw thru. Just get the biggest offerings and live with what you end up with. Looks seem more important than function here anyway. If you like the look of a draw thru system, then you need to be prepared for all the down sides that go with it. The less than stellar all out performance goes hand in hand with very poor cold start, laggy spool up, poor cyl to cyl distribution, detonation, explosive boost tubes, etc...
I've gone this route, and believe me, it aint worth the hassle if power is what you're after. For cruise nights or whatever it looks kinda cool, but than you have to come up with a long list of excuses to tell the guys that want to race you.
I was curious about how distribution and over all atomization would be this way. Looks like it would be terribly inefficient especially at low rpm. Seems like a very fine line between fuel puddling and going lean. I'm sure an intercooler would further complicate things?

I'd say the same thing everyone else is saying, good luck, its such old technology and you will never make huge power and the driveablity is gonna suck. That being said, i know the older VW crowd still uses drawthru stuff, you may wanna hop on there forums and see who they use for those seals. Even the "dung beetle" on street outlaws was draw through, tiny turbo on it but draw through. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gsqQG_bKiA

I understand there are draw backs and yes it may be more for looks than function and limited in output by turbo size.I have seen video of some nice running boats with this.
Boats are also almost always under load at a constant or close to constant rpm....
