ok heres my dilemma. i have a brand new cast iron blox turbo mani that i never got a chance to install when i had my first turbo setup. i was wondering, IF i decide to use this mani temporarily... how should i place the wastegate? any pics would be appreciated. i hear alot of people being scared of boost creep from the placement of the wg. also.. i have had thoughts of getting the sls top mount as i seen some of u guys rockin. its a pretty good deal for a top mount, but my question is will it be ok for a daily driven car? its just that ive had bad experiences with shitty manifolds and im just scared that it will eventually crack from weight issues and not to mention my abuse on the car.

There is only one way to install the WG on that manifold. Creep should not be that bad of an issue at all. This is not a drag manifold we are talking about here. Depending on your car or if you are running a BC, you may need to get a WG elbow.

yeh i know theres pretty much only one way to put it on... but im thinking of running a elbow to run it off to the side. the reason why im thinking about doing this is because its a similar design to the drag mani, and one of my buds had the wastegate sitting on top of the mani without a elbow, and it had a clearence problem with the hood, so he has a little nipple on the hood from the wg.

theres gotta be some log mani users here with a pic of how there wg is setup with an elbow!

to anyone who has knowledge about this.... if i run an elbow off to the side, so that the wg is sideways, will this be ok? im not understanding why it would boost creep if it was setup wrong? or is this specifically a drag mani which is known for spike? sorry if it seems like a dumb question, just tryin to gain some more knowledge
