I guess you would go with a to4e or t4/t61, but I would get a different mani unless you need 400hp. But yes, the injectors will support that. Why not use a JGS and go top mount? Or you could use a SSAC like I have. It is a quality piece. Don't believe me? Ask KATwo40.

I have heard that of some of the first run, and so a lot of people braced them. This run is coming braced! I will let everyone know if I have an issue, but I have one of their ICs and the Mani, and for the price, I am pleased with the workmanship.

Yes, I have the top mount, and I have only two complaints. First, you have to bolt down the lower #4 bolt before the others (due to clearance), and there are MC clearance issues (like any other Top Mount Ap on the KA), which I intend to fix by readjusting my driver's motor mount. It takes a 35/38 mm flange for TiAL. Plus it includes a shim to help with the MC clearance (for S13s, since it sells for S14), and all of the gaskets are MLS. I am happy, and if I am the only one, then **** y'all...

I just thought of another complaint: If you intend to keep your AC, which I do, then you have to contend with the WG discharging almost directly on top of the high side hose. This means you not only have to run back to the downpipe, rather than dumping atmospherically (for those who can), but you have to use heat wrap or it will increase the AC pressures to unsafe levels (If it doesn't burn the hose).

what temp is the air that comes from the WG?I have an SSA Mani and its going in an S13, I want to try to keep AC. Would it be possible to route the WG dump tube so that it wont interfere with AC?

You should always use a dump pipe to route the exhaust gas out and away from under the hood. It's a very simple pipe to weld up. Took me less then 10 minutes of cutting and welding. This alone will lower your underhood temps quite a bit.

The exhaust gasses are anywhere from 800-1300 degree's.

Does anyone have pics of an SSA topmount with an external WG and dump tube?

I don't really want to have to deal with this stuff while I am installing my turbo stuff.
