Ha by show I mean have a picture of where the problem is. When it's pointed down that hex bolt kind of touches the turbo. So the problem is always there, but I only have the picture of the problem with the turbo facing up

In a nut shell. Your either gonna have to grind the hex nut which you can grind down suprisingly far lol or youll have to grind the "ridge" below it. Or youll have to grind both. Like I said its no big deal though. Takes about 30 mins. Itll scare you the first time having to grind the block. Anytime after your first its a cake walk.

Other shit Ive seen people do to clear a turbo is to shave the flange on the mani at an angle so that when you bolt the turbo on it points outward farther. This is great but makes everything more cramped then it already is with a koyo. Theres alot of things you can do with these manifolds to massage a bigger turbo in.

and how close does the turbo come to the hood with the ebay topmount log manifolds?


Please don't use an ebay manifold, just get a GTI-R

I have a t4 flanged gtir Mani for sale ( shameless plug). The eBay log puts the turbo right by the factory catch can. It's not bad fitment for smaller t3's. I'm running a eBay topmount but it's not a log. I cut a few items to get it to fit.
