There both going to make relatively the same power. Depending on design of the manifolds spool could be about the same. It's up to you which one you choose. Top mount is easier to work on turbo.

To be honest i have no idea it was my buddys motor i bought off him he used it for 1 summer (barely) he made 789whp @ 40+psi on this motor diffrent turbo setup tho. I decided top mount is the way to go with my motor and turbo setup. It seems like its easier to fit 4"dp also so thats a plus.I already did a/c and ps delete motor setup has ati race superdampner.
