What's the differnece between running these 3 different style turbo manifolds. Just looks or actual power differences?

Ram horn--

Top mount --

Front facing -

 

The only real difference is going to be how large of a turbo you want to run and how much space do you have in your engine bay that will accommodate each style I.E. Battery and fuse box relocation, ac removal, oil relocation kit requirement etc.

They will all make great power for the most part.

 

Look @ ole passsssssman making an appearance.

One thing that I think gets easily over looked when shopping for parts like this....Accessability.


Some of these kits are an absolute NIGHTMARE to work on. I'm running a custom forward facing manifold and can have the mani,turbo,dp and WG off in under 30 mins. Makes working on it an absolute breeze.

 

I like the look of the top mount and also the Front Facing style. @illestrolla do you have any pics if you engine bay?

 

I have a forward facing and I took everything off the other day in about 30.

nice last pic haha, i went from a ram horn to the foward facing in the last pic, my ran horn made great power, prob about the same as the foward facing, but like was said already, such a bitch to work on, only prob with foward facing is the mani cracking, but thats why u just get full race, also full blowns manifolds seem to be very solid i rarely see those fail

 

I did a google
Search for images haha

 

The biggest thing I have learned is making sure you have easy access to wastegate and dumptubes!!! Running wastegates facing down makes it a HUGE pain in the ass to clamp down dumptubes and gates.

FULL RACE ALL DAY ERRRRR DAYY lol.

 

Ask, and you shall receive.
