that is no where near the same wastegate placement as the OP's </TD></TR></TABLE>

dont have that info man, sorry.

usually guys that are running these manifolds have a WG spring at 14psi and they are shooting for 600+

All the WG looks in the same place to me, but what do i know, i only make them

I am not talking about the placement off the runners I am talking about the length of the tube leading to the wastegate and how many bends are in it

the point is that in the future i will be running more boost than 8psi and I dont feel spending money on a log manifold and then buying a top mount, money is something I dont have to waste. Also instead of sleeving the block ill spend it on the LS head getting the P&P.
