Oh WOW that top mounted manifold is nice. Will it fit in with the external wastegate bolted on??

I also like the topmount.
Does it help with cooling in anyway. Considering the turbo is not tucked away anymore.

Also looking at the headers, they seem to be equal length. Does this help spool uptime?

Should help with spool up time...

Doing top mount is lots of mods though... esp exhaust and the ABS...

Was thinking about it before I started.

Under hung looks just as cool though. Especially when the tubing goes blue

both those manifolds look like they have equal length headers!

both are super sexy, but i prefer the one that mounts the turbo low! unless you have a nice shiny turbo to go with it!

i noticed what looked like a t3/t4 in one pic? that going on there too!

also - i also get a little bit of dirty oil on top of plug number one, but i have checked everywhere for leaks and i have no idea where it comes from. did your guys have any ideas about that? mine isn't a lot, its just taht i have no idea where it comes from!

yes, T3/T4. top mount does need a lot to work but the result is worth it, easy to access the turbo, cooling nice... most important it looks cool. no idear those oil come from...
