To be honest as soon as I saw this manifold I was immediately reminded of the square fold.

I too saw these products at sema and was very interested. They do make a d16 topmount. These seemed very high quality for a cast manifold. They actually have very nice free flowing individual runners.. THEY ARE GARUNTEED FOR LIFE AGAINST CRACKING!. I may rock one on my next setup. There working on a website right now http://www.spaturbousa.com...

Yeap, that manifold was made right from my cousin garage. Now that's HMT style.

Re: SPA Topmount Cast Turbo Manifold. Let me know your experience please (ProJectCvic)
I have had a SPA turbo manifold on my GTI, great manifold would definitly buy one again. I have used other manifolds that have cracked within a year and this one held up. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: SPA Topmount Cast Turbo Manifold. Let me know your experience please (dinkydx)
Does anybody have any Idea on how the oil drain will work? It looks like it will clear the turbo flange itself but not after that. I didnt see any pics of it in the ones posted. Thats really the only concern i can see right now. Oh also is it ok to use a 5 bolt turbo or does it ned to be a 4 bolt? Thanks guys

You can see in the pics that the oil line hasn't been ran to the oil pan yet, but it would appear that there is plenty of room. It would go along the side of the wastegate... this mani looks pretty decent for a cast design.

damn, if they had straightened out that turbo flange and made it more parallel to the head, this could've been a/c compatible. Its not like there isn't enough room.
