Question about forward facing turbo manifolds
What is a "good" price for a manifold/dp combo that positions the turbo such that the comp housing is facing towards the front of the car? To anyone who already runs this type of setup, if you could post pics, I would really appreciate it. How long is your oil return line? Thanks 
PS. This is for a drag only car (It won't be driven on the street)

Re: Question about forward facing turbo manifolds (Garage 808 Hatch)
Thanks for the reply! Are you running a pump for the oil return? Or are you still relying on gravity? Could you give me an appoximation of your oil return line angle? It looks pretty shallow. Any problems with that setup? Thanks 
PS. Awesome looking setup

Re: Question about forward facing turbo manifolds (herecomesboost)
well here is a street car we built. its a front mount setup, oil return is gravity it sits a bit higher than you would think. HKS Filter tucks nicely behind the license plate.
pm me for pricing. this is a one off custom peice.

Garage 808 hatch, any pics from a side view? I am curious to see how big of an angle your chra is relative to the ground.

Re: (Garage 808 Hatch)
Most people have the center housing/oil return perpendicular to the ground. Yours is slightly facing forward. I was just curious as to just how much of an angle it actually is. It's difficult to see from the pics. Is that your hatch or the crx? Thanks for the help

Direct air flow into the turbo and intercooler.
Ask yourself the other question, what are the benefits of a topmount over any other style.
