Make sure you check fitment on a G20 as well. I just found out that I have to grind some of the front motor mount bracket that bolts to the engine block down because the turbo is touching it with my Full Race manifold. Shouldn't be a big deal, but its another pain in the butt thing that I have to do.

awesome, didnt think you would start this so fast! Oh I also forgot to mention on the first post make these with de and ve flange options, and external wastegate flange options and I think theyll sell even better.

Will do

I can work the DE/VE flange and external wastegate options into the design...I'm tweaking the manifold designs in solidworks right now, figuring out what will perform best while being easy to fab with a target price of around $750.

The 1st 4 into 1 design...

if you can move it a little away from the block. GTI-R's still have issues with big inlets hitting the block, even with grinding it. My manifold now works perfect, but I had to make my own downpipe.

^^ all these request will require them to get a custom Jpipe or downpipe.

the p10/p11/b15 all have to grind the mount bracket a little to clear the turbo while using the GTIR manifold.

I don't see the point in in moving anything because more work will be need to to get everything else to work.

thanks for saying it so i didn't have to!
stock location for turbo with better flow than a cast manifold with an external gate option is prolly what will sell the most...IMO
lots of downpipes out there that work with this position...why change it

Because it does not fit the turbos.... Why would I buy a manifold that will not like me run a 3" inlet??? Pretty much all you have to do is raise it about 3/4" as previously stated all over the place by mikos (which is milling the flange down) and it clears the block easy with a GT2871R and no change done to the downpipe.

A stock gtir manifold will not let you run this turbo.

I could make a couple of manifold fixtures...stock placement and one that fits larger turbos. However, I would need a manifold that has been modified to fit these large turbos to figure out height and angle differences for comparison and design.

Once these get rolling, I'll send one your way BTW, how are the other parts working out for ya?

Interested if its stock location, just wanna have some cool non-rusty non-old ass jdm metal tubes attached to my turbo

Only interested in stock placement. It is a t2 turbo type anyways. I built all this crap cdntered around stock placement only way I would buy
