I've been reading info from all sorts of sources about various turbos, manis, and wastegates.

So far I've nailed down for the most part that I want either a Garrett GT30R or GT35R.

I'm shooting for somewhere between 500-600 rwhp.

With that turbo, I'm thinking a Tial 44mm wastegate would be good.

The thing that I'm having the most difficulty with, is the manifold.

From everything that I've read, I'm thinking the HKS cast model would be good, but they're discontinued, and I'm also unsure of the clearance for the steering.

I've also looked at the Peak Performance mani. Seems decent enough, but looks very similar to the SSAC.http://phase2motorsports.store....html

I've also checked out the full race model. Nice, but $2400 seems a bit steep.http://www.full-race.com/catal...id=51

So if anyone has any good info about this, please let me know.

x2, the PSM and JGY look like SSAC manifolds so I wouldnt trust them. The full race looks good cept for the hefty price. I like the HKS manifold a lot, just hold out till one pops up.

Do you happen to know if that one has any clearance issues on an S13? I'm not sure about that since it was made for a RHD Skyline.

I know Yellow4G63 on here was running one on his RB20 with no issues, you may be able to ask him how it fit. He was selling his a long time ago for a killer price and I almost picked it up but ended up not.
