What size Turbo do you plan on getting or have? Do you want a log style or equal length?

...because Alphawerks has one too. It's a tubular manifold I think. If not than it's a styled log which is just as good or close to.

I wouldn't, wastegate is on top. You may have fitment/burning issues with your hood. IMHO

No problem, but I thought that you were talking to people ;)

Here's a pic of ZPI's, you'll see that the wastegate is front mounted.

The actual Alphawerks manifold has a tube the extends from the collector much like Dezod's but is styled.

Pics? I've never seen an actual AW turbo manifold, it's always that BS place holder picture.

Ok I'll post pics of the AW manifold. It didn't fit right so we ended up not using it for our project.

Joe:

Is the quality of the work inside the collector indicative of the whole piece?

alphawerks does have their manfolds out on the market - they are a bit pricey right now due to the intial productions costs- the pricing will come down a bit in a month or so - they ensure no fitment issues at all - i have held one in my hand and the quality is top notch for sure - we haven't had the pleasure of test fitting or installing one on a car yet
