i dont have any experience with this area but im going to state my opinon about the way it looks. It appears to be cast which means its probably less prone to cracking then the SSA Autochrome ones which is nice and probably pretty important. But i do not like the external wastegate placement as it seems like its only going to mainly effect 3 cyclynders. Would have been nicer imo if they placed it in the middle with the runners all leading up and the turbo flange over there because i think this particular design aids in boost spiking someone correct me if im wrong?

i would just make sure ur turbo fits the mounting specification this one is asking for before ordering "Takes an APEX or IHI turbo.Bolt pattern is 33.5mm x 73mm."

i would agree with you on wastegate placment IF it didnt see pressure

but since the entire manifold would essientally be pressured the placement would work fine. theres gonna be an open hole for all the pressureized air to gladly exit, it wont make a difference

its not the 100% PROPER placment for the wastegate, but its a cast iron manifold. not an equal length tube steel. so whoever ends up with it obviously isnt going for MAX horsepower.

The wastegate is right over the collector. I don't see it having a problem with keeping the boost in check. It's a nice looking cast iron log manifold. I like the HKS one a little better but those are hard to find.

its a nice looking topmount. but too bad its flanged for apexi and ihi turbos.
