One-Fab or Neukin top mount?
Im planning to buy a top mount before the end of this month. the Full-Race one is just to much money so Im debating between the Neukin and the One-Fab. I was going to buy the One-fab and it looks real nice but I recently discovered Neukin and I hear alot of good things but there Top-Mount is pretty much a prototype. There other manifolds look nice but there pricing is close to the One-Fab top mount. so I am stuck. This is going on my daily driver that I put around 30,000 miles a year on, so I would hope I could get around 100,000 out of the manifold, but as it is a daily driver I need to get the quickest spool possible and I do not want to have to modify my car at all to make this fit (minus ditching the P/S) I need to keep boost creep to a min. Anyways what do you guys reccomend for a top mount?
Neukin
One-Fab
Also on the Neukin manifold im not sure how I like the turbo angled like that, it would come very close to my core support.

Just from looking at the 2 designs I like the one fab better due to it having more balanced runners. The Neukin manifold has 4 90* bends on runners 2 and 3, but only 3* on 1 and 4.

Any reason you need a top mount? With that many miles a year on your car I would go with a proven bottom mount setup. I have put alot of miles so far on my Neukin and have had no problems at all.

I have been in love with the top mount as soon as I first seen it on Buck02's 519whp 91 octance car, I love how it looks.
But The Better angle of oil return, option to run a bigger down pipe, and ease of changing turbos attracts me. In the past I have had oil return problems and went through a few turbos, so this will help me feel better about it. In my state I have yet to see any Top-Mounted turbo b18's So in my area it will be something new.

I love my One-Fab top mount. You can't say no to the ease of oil return install hehe.

And the fact that you can easily get to every nut and bolt, everywhere is nice.

Re: (iROCKtheSOHC)
i just sold my one-fab type one mani to one of my friends so i could by a top-mount by them.
the quaility is great on them, my friend owns a neukin ram-horn style and the welds look great too.
i think they'll preform the same, so its just who ever has a better turn-around and price

Re: (jeiden)
It seems like the quality on both of the manifolds isn't going to be a factor. The designs are similar. I guess the big thing you left out is the price of either. I'd pick the cheaper one.

Thos Neukin shots were in a CRX I believe.
The One-Fab unit will place the turbo at MOST 2-3 inch's closer to the head if that than the Neukin. If the One-Fab had a turbo mounted to it then you would see what I’m saying. The turbo placement is closer than you think.
I say give Neukin a shot and she how it performs. You would be the only one that has one. Custom one of a kind Yo
