    But for sure will the ports stil match up after it is turned upside down? I know for sure using it how its intended the ports will match up....

    I was thinking today and what i am going to do is either:
    A) get my radiator (its a Geo Storm Radiator off of my brothers parts car, its only 1 inch thick) cut smaller w/ custom end tanks
    B) buy one small enough to...

    Remove the A/C Condensor and putting the radiator where the condensor used to be, that would free up quite a bit of space.

    Even putting the Geo Storm radiator put into it now would make a difference, they measure the same size width by lenght...

      YOU SIR ARE NOT AN EXTREMEST...

      lol ...

      nah the external wastegate does a much better job of controling the boost than the internal.. What do you do when the internal fails.

      But the internal is good , especially if you don't have any heart and don't plan on upping the boost.

              how much does he charge though...if you can get the ebay mani for $200 then have someone fab a flange for another $50 you're only going to be paying $250...I though i saw you post somewhere that he would charge 500 for a log manifold...I could be wrong on that though.

                I agree with ^^tweaks^^

                I stayed close to the guy who helped me with custom piping for the subaru, and bring him customer constantly.

                just for example, he'll charge me $150 for SS cat-back if i bring in a muffler. that is including material and labor, and he's been doing it for 13years!!

                he quoted me $300 for a full custom turbo back on the pro, and tubing from intake to turbo, and turbo to TB.

                  yeah honestly for $500 id rather buy the materials and even F*uck it up a few times before i get it right. Now $500 for somehting more radical than a log style would be worth it...

                  I decided though that i am going to try it in my own, only $30 on materials for each one i try... Hopefully i'll get the first one right.
