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

 

this is true but it might help flow alittle

 

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.

 

pretty cheap really but for what they cost a person could fab a full ramhorn mani

 

I found a seller that is askiing for $300 for it new.

 

i think id rather flip a hf upside down

 

lol, I agree, I wouldn't expect to much out of that manifold.
