Why not USE an FMU.

it is because if you face it the other way, the turbine(exhaust side would be too big) and it won't clear the block. i am currently in final stages of my project and have experienced the problem. still, my wastegate on my turbo will not clear the block, i need to make adapter plate that positions turbo out about 2 inches from the block so it would clear my power steering and motor mount bracket. instead of the hole in the adapter plate, it has to be a big angle cut hole, don't know if that will flow too good. oh well.

what we did was grind down the motor mount a little....

I can get you a manifold that is angled out to clear the block, but cannot use with AC

hey guyys, im looking to go the turbo route on my 00 civic single cam non vtec, and been putting together a setup with a guy from turbomanifolds.com and he's recommending a td-05 turbo ($250) for me, for full driveability and streetable, anyone else have opinions on what kind of turbo i should run? the td-05 gets full boost at 2500-3000 rpm, anyone know of anything around there , i only plan on running 5-7 psi.
