Blox turbo manifold clearance issues?
Im thinking about getting the blox b-series turbo manifold for an LS. The LS will be going into a Del Sol. It looks like there is a clearance issue between the placement of the wastegate and the hood. Does anybody know if this setup will work? Also, what is the quality of the blox manifolds, are they are reputable brand?
Last question...it says the manifold has a t3 flange. Does that mean i cant use a t3/t4 turbo setup? Im a noob. Thanks for the help.

No, it isn't. The base of the VTEC head is a bit wider, which can actually cause some clearance issues with the wastegate. The LS block is .200" taller than the B16 block, which if the wastegate is close on a B16 that .2" could push it right into the hood.

Dude, same ****. 2 tenths of an inch isnt gonna matter. And I know for a fact that it will fit.
