Define "front mount"? I've heard of a bottom mount (stock location), and a top mount, but never a front mount unless it was for a front wheel drive car.

I'm a little lost on the front mount too. Do you mean top mount?

If you did a front mount setup, you would have to remove the power steering. What is the reasoning behind wanting a front mounted turbo?

one of THE baddest ka-t setups period.

I assumed by Front mount he meant an exhaust manifold for a Front Wheel Drive (East West) engine.

The reasoning for a front mount is it moves the turbo right behind the headlight well close vto it and allows to run a lil bigger turbo with out being so close to the master cylinder also makes turbo instalation a breeze and yes power steering has to b removed but i have no power steering on mine and drifts fine no problems. also keeps the turbo cooler and no this is for a 240sx chassis

the pricing is going to b close to 1000 but the more people we get the better our discount and the faster they will produce it the price is high but the maniflod should yeild 50 hp over any ebay mani or bottom mount because of the longer primaries and the way their collectors come to a point . this manifold will make horse power guareenteed made of the highest quality steel and cnc flange everything hand tig welded in a jig guarenteed for life against craking or anything this is their web site http://www.afiturbo.com/store/...7b13f

A grand is about the going price for a really good and functioning manifold, but good luck getting 10 CA lovers for this. There might be a cheaper, yet effective alternative, but at this time there's no need for thread-jacking .
