Any of you guys know if there would be enough hood clearance if I were to mount one of those Tial knockoff ext wastegates to the top of my HF manifold where the hole for the O2 sensor is? I don't know how big the WG is, so I have no idea. It would be going in my 93 Civic with a D series.

 

It will fit if not you'll just need to grind down a bit of the underside skeleton of hood

 

Have you seen it done before, do you happen to have some pics?

 

I've seen some pics of someone doing it but the welding was pretty at all. If I had an hf mani I'd try to use an internal gate instead.

 

Why is that?
