This is because mine is a Twin Scroll with Twin MVS Gates.

You wouldn't be able to retain twin scroll if you went v-band. Unless Garret really gets on the ball making those uber trick TS v-band hotsides.

OP, nice kit. But what made you go top mount over forward facing or standard placement?

My car is mostly street driven and don't think the ff kits look as good with a filter installed, plus condenser/radiator changes are often needed. I left it up to MAP to build whatever they wanted and that's what they came up with. I have no complaints!

Top mounts seem to stay together better as well since the weight isnt pulling against the manifold and you can easily put a brace under the manifold runners to the block.

I'm not sure if this is braced to the block or not. MAP has always been good about warranty issues so I'm not worried.

Here's my kit. That's not my car, but it will be on my car soon! I'm hoping to get some time away from work this weekend. The box arrived last Friday and has been calling for me every time I walk in the house.

The description is funny because it says water lines for ball bearing but the PTE turbos are air cooled ball bearing.

Beautiful kit though. I love top mount v-band setups. Easy to swap from little to huge turbos. 5858 .64 for auto cross and 6262 for daily and 6766 for drag use. 10 minute turbo swaps.
