My best attempt at the egmike topmount manifold a/k/a the MacGyver
Well it all started out when I tripped across egmikes post about an ingenious idea to utilize your factory exhaust manifold and modify the second section into a top mount adapter. I was already a little boost hungry, and this was the perfect project to work on practicing my welding skills.
Here is his original post < https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1564066
After reading, studying, and doing a little practice on the good old flux-core welder from Sears, I was ready...
all in all, I am pretty happy, it turned out pretty good for my application and I couldn't be happier with only spending ~$15 on materials
here is the finished kit \/

it is good, I should have tracked down a better turbo, the turbo I am using is off a saab and has a round inlet, but i made the manifold for t3/t4 with square, so I am sure there are some flow issues with that, but other than that it runs like a champ and usually reaches full boost around 4k.

good work on the fab man. hmt is definitely not for everyone, but its interesting and very appealing to many. post some more pics of the manifold and what not.
