I know I don't have a turbo, but it looks as though it's spooling right into the bottom of the radiator. Then again I'm an idiot and it probably can be turned by the bolt pattern.

well ur right it is a bit lower than the stock manifold would have it sitting... but that's mainly due to the wastegate positioning... and in reality it doesnt matter cause the piping's still the same for the intercooler...

heres the run down on this thing thus far...............


ok heres the pics i took with my camera phone all mocked up, now i just need to weld it. i notched the front motor mount and turned the waste gate flange a bit to have it face straight downward  to run the dump tube in front of the intake pipe on the turbo and between the front motor mount and the under engine longitudinal brace (whatever the hell its called) i also had to cut the brace off the hood right above the 2 tubes so now i have an inch of clearnance up there and it fits with the stock rad and some slim line fans. also this is running the 2.5" SBR FMIC kit. anyways heres the phone pics...........
welding will be done this week for sure.

thats sweet man, it looks really good... but i still think $800 is a LOT of money for that manifold...i mean punishment racing has a manifold they've been making for a long time that are tested and really good, but for $775.  and it's from a well known respected dsm company... i just dont know man
