will an OBX top mount turbo manifold fit my car?
wasn't sure if this would be better to ask here or the forced induction forum.
so i have a Garrett gt25 and i can only find good manifolds in a t3 flange so i bought an adapter plate that goes from a t25 flange to a t3 flange.. the adapter is an inch thick and i wasnt sure if that would make it stick up too tall.
and i dont really feel like spending 250$ just to test fit it haha.
if anyone knows let me know.
thanks,
Mike

You'll get better answers here...
My only comment about the OBX top mount is that you're going to lose all of the good aspects of your tiny turbo on such a long runner manifold. Plan to give back at least 1k rpm in spool compared with a shorter runner manifold. Honestly, there are WAY better options out there. All of this is aside from the fact that OBX doesn't exactly make the best quality parts...

Why would you want to put a T25 on a top mount? ..
Top mounts are for those who:
-want the bling factor (T25 with an T3 adaptor plate is hella blinging,)
-need more room for their larger turbos that will not fit on the bottom.
Either way. You FAIL!
