3) I'm interested.

For peace of mind, I think I will still ask them. The T design is out of their patent, so they can't say anything about that
Aluminum is stronger, but yes, nylon doesn't conduct heat like aluminum does, they both have their pros and cons:
3D Printed Nylon:
-No production run needed
-can easily be made to suit 76 and 83mm TB
-doesn't conduct heat well
-cheaper
Aluminum:
-Strong and durable
-Better surface finish (can be media blasted to achieve the perfect finish)
-A lot more expensive
-conduct heat well

I remember, you have a 911 engine right ? I need the inside diameter and width of the cross tube and the inside diameter of the gt3 TB's exit.
Right now, I have a little something that might be interesting, I'll post another thread
