JP Workz Twin Scroll Bottom Mount

[veer90]

Except I foresee a problem with the downpipe clearing the manifold. Would be a bit tight, but all top mount installations are.
I feel like I'm having deja vu. I swear I've had this conversation before, short runner top mount kit.

That was my concern too. Worst case just smash the downpipe a bit like VRSF does with their 5 series downpipes lol

Ain't it possible to clock the compressor housing on a kit like this? Since the turbo is sitting upside down, bad oil feed/drain?

the issue you guts are referring too is due to precisions (and xona?)'s V-Band housing. its not a true split volute like the garrets you see on Power strokes etc.. hence the runner design. FWIW as long as the gasses are separated all the way up to the volute it doesnt make a TON of difference....

I would love to see those manis work, but that style fits terribly on its native platform even so... Clocking the CHRA isnt a huge issue either fwiw. its just having the DP so close to the firewall.

Steed speed is/was making an n54 manifold, is that still a thing?

Its always interesting when people put the EGT/pressure probes in there.

And yes, the Steed manifold is still going:
