clearance with that turbo is horrible next to the master brake cylinder. I have that manifold but I sold the turbo and I bought a master power oncenter turbo. Even with the revhard manifold you will have the same problem. It is way to close.

The reason you'd have clearance issues is if your car is automatic. The automatic brake cylinder is thinner but longer, so clearance becomes an issue. Just swap the brake cylinder for one from a manual and there'll will be no issues. With that said, this stuff is a 50-50 bet. There is a 50% chance the turbo will go (wheel blades or something) and that the manifold will bleed or crack. So it basicaly depends if you are a gamb|ing man. BTW, if you're gonna use low boost, the odds are a little better that the turbo and mani will hold.

Do you mean the brake booster from the manual, lol because I changed that and it was still to close for me. The oncenter backhousing fit much better with these manifolds. I wouldn't trust the turbo's that come with this kit. You also cant put a oncenter housing on those chinese turbo's. Good luck.

I have the same manifold and had clearence issues at first too, auto brake booster. I bought 5 hockey pucks and clocked my motor and it fits perfect! I wish I had only no boosted so much and blown the ringlands in 1 mile! I should be back on the road by next weekend!
