Will we be able to chose more advanced turbos ? like twin scroll or variable vane turbos?

there is no such thing. most turbos have an overboost ability , but only for a second. or you can adjust the wastegate.

good idea for the turbos, but towards the Dev team and there recent video on the turbos how the exhaust manifold doesn't affect turbo spool, etc, i font have a internet reference but i do have real life experience, on my rb20det, using a "short cast headers", and then using a aftermarket manifold i was able to decrease spool time by 600rpm and make the engine more responsive also increased my power ont he exact same tune by 17RwKW so about 25kw at the enigne. another point is drag cars use specially designed header to produce more power, eg race tubular etc.

Yes, it would make sense to have one more higher end option for the manifolds. The reason we don't have them right now is that it would be a lot of extra artwork which right now are not feasible. If we get to the point where Andy is twiddling his thumbs, that would be something to work on :)

Hello

I've just got a question about the turbo setup in progress. Are you going to have dump valves as well?
That would be a great bonus. To hear the sound of the dump valve as you drop the throttle slider. :P
