top mount helps fit a bigger turbo...

a real top mount would help you fit a bigger turbo, but not one with the collector even with the head.

Id assume your oil drain/dp wouldnt hang as low

i agree isnt the purpose for a t/m for flow and top end power due to longer primaries, bdvt what was your intentions behind using the topmount on you whip
My ---- has an actual MERGE collector... This POS has four runners that fire into (not only each other) a cavernous ------- hole under the turbo. My manifold was calculated for internal volume and runner length, and was built to make over 600WHP.. IT WORKED

Now im not saying I would NEVER run one on a B, but its really a poor flowing design, you dont need to be a flow dynamics guru to figure that out...

Thanks for ur input guys, I considered it for its strength and placement of the turbo. I'll probably end up getting something handmade.

are they expensive? with the turbo in the pic it doesnt look like it would clear the hood, but maybe.
