Looks awesome, more pics of the mani? looks like a DC header with a boob tube coming up for the turbo .
Haha, looks good though.

that setup would so much cooler if that turbo wasn't so tiny lol. topmounts are sexy when the turbo is nice n huge. nice setup tho. n nice idea with modding the stock header with an adapter loopin back up for a topmount.

im pretty sure the "Airmass" header portion of it will support a 14b but not much of anything bigger. i mean my turbo weighs 26 pounds, and im sure once heat soak sets in and its not transfering too well, it will slowly start to sag and break.

so i would stick with a 14b or something like a t3 60-1
