I think the comp cover is not close enough to the valve cover. I dont think its gonna clear the rad...

i believe the clamp will most certainly be in the way ;) lol. definitely going to be a killer setup man. How much did you want to make at the wheels again or what were you planning to get?

It will be interesting to see if its going to clear the radiator. Thats also why they have the turbo in there slightly angled.

I asked just to make sure. He mocked it up on his brother's black 1g, and it will clear. He checked to make sure it clears the hood too, since it slopes down up front. I guess I really shouldn't need to ask, as the man is a genious with this, and other things I've seen of his. His attention to detail is quite amazing. He's currently eating Chinese, and racking his brain on where to place the WG's..

Um I have seen a very similar manifold in person.

How close to equal length will this manifold be?

True, very similar, as there isn't too many different ways a manifold could be made. I am not discrediting other people's work, just that he's really accomodating (as you have been) to what I have asked him to do.
