98ctr

its a 1.06 housing with a p trim, I think. I have to ask my buddy, cuz its his turbo.

trickeng

sweet.

98ctr

yea, I wanted to keep power steering, so I placed the turbo more toards the center of the car so I have room for the power steering pump.

btw, when I made the manifold, all I had was a dohc head on a bench, I had to take measurement from the car and go back to the shop to work on the manifold. everything fits verry good and im verry happy with it.

can any1 explain what's benefits from using top mount manifold?

you get to see the whole turbo and its easier to build.

98ctr

well I would not say that its easier to build, and that is the only reason to have a top mount. It also alows you to have the runners the lenght you want them to. In theory it alows you to have the runners the lenght to where it makes the most power.

Funny, all the Big Name engine builders I talk to have no opinion if short runner/unequal length or long runner/equal length manifolds make the most power. But, it does affect spool time.
