Wow thats for the responce tons of information.
To answer your question first, No I havent driven in a 3rz with a downey header. My reason for going with the LC was because of shopping around. I looked at the quality of the craftmanship of the welds and how the goes 4 to 1 unlike the downey at least for my year looks like it goes 4 to 2 to 1. The fact that it is smog legal in cali also helped my decide. The install was flawless on mine. with a conversion like yours im not sure of the clearence issues. I am running a K n N intake, I think im going to try and put my old box back on and try the deck plate mod to see if the gain is better. I am running magnaflow highflow cat and the flowmaster 40 series back. Its an okay set up I think im going to go with a 18' magnaflow 2.5 in and 2.5 out.
So as far as forced induction goes what are your feelings about the after cat turbo set up. Im not a fan of it and i havent heard of alot of feedback about it just curious if you had any info about it.

So if it was created for a 1.8l displacement motor why would they have made it for it. Im sure there was a reason maybe to extend the life of the motor and the supercharger but I understand what you are talking about where it is close to its rev limit and high rmp. So im torn on what to do, have you personally come to a conculsion on what to do with your motor?
Thanks again for the reply just the person I wanted to hear from.
