New Front Mount Turbo kit - Nelson Performance -built by Trick Performance
#12
Why not just clock the turbo about 90* and run the charge pipe down into the TB? It seems like there's an unecessary bend there.
How much is the kit less the turbo and wastegate?
What measures have been taken to prevent the manifold from cracking and/or sagging?

That would be my concern as well. Also, I would think there will be a terrible amount of turbulance in the log manifold. The gasses come straight out and hit a dead end and are hit from the side by gasses coming from the drivers side. I can see how this will work but it is certainly not going to be the most efficient setup. Stay tuned for another kit option soon, Prototype being sent back from Stainless Works as we speak

There are many others out there running log style manifolds with great success.

The two mesh pipes prevent stress on the exhaust parts.
There is a 1 year warranty on all exhaust parts.
Add a meth kit and you're ready to run!!
Like I mentioned, there will be an intercooler option available.
thanks,

how long before the twin turbo/intercooled option ?
this looks to be a very nice kit 'bout time someone else made a front mount kit(livernois is the only other and currently isnt selling)
