Looks nice sitting in the engine bay. Will you need a turbo blanket since its going to be so close to the hood?

I think it will be fine.. But we will see lol

Only reason I mentioned it was because I had my turbo really close to my hood in my 92 civic and it cracked the underside quite bad from the heat.
Where did you get your manifold? It looks to be good quality. I want to start piecing together a kit, but I havent seen to many top mounts for sale. I use to have a full-race which I loved, but they only carry a twin scroll manifold for the s2k.

​​​​​​Yeah hopefully I'll be good! This mani is a t4 twinscroll actaully but I'm sure they have a option for what you want! Straightline motorsports.

Thanks I will check them out.
