It's got more clearance then it looks in the picture and is no closer then some of the other manifolds out there. We will be including some wrap for the upper rad hose with the manifold.

A 12mm wrench fits in there with no problem. Its actually not as bad as it looks to install.

Thanks. I'm interested to see how this manifold fairs against the stocker as it has proven its worth when ported and jet coated. At any rate, this thread gives me something to read from Iraq.

Looking forward to the stock turbo tests...just bolt on power gains then after tuning gains...$699 is a pretty killer price...there seem to be more and more stock replacement tubular manifolds coming out lately...

Here is a pic of another manifold I just finished. I moved runner #1 away from the head so that it is easier to install. I call this one V1.2495.

Thumbs up

There is a lot of buzz with this new turbo manifold you created Keith. I'm glad I got the first prototype on my EVO. Its a beautiful piece. I'm the envy down at the police station. Everyone want to know what the hell it is and I show it off to everyone at work. Thanks Keith.
