Any updates on your project? I found a picture of one that might help you out...

yeah I have been thinking about doing the same thing, I just got a turbo that Im doing a custom setup with and I would really prefer a horizontal TB rather than vertical. I had also thought about choping off the runners, not compleatly but just make them shorter. I had been woundering if this would create problems. I have no problem doing the work, but will this affect the MAP sensor, or give unequal pressures in the runners?
by the way,.......first gen(97)
, sohc

Why would you want them shorter? You would be killing your low end torque. If you want to try something, put a magnum intake on your SOHC, then eliminate the 90° bend, then put your turbo on it! The magnum intake breathes better than your SOHC intake as the the magnum manifold has two sets of runners rather than one the base SOHC offers. The primary set of runners are longer than the secondary runners to promote low end tourque.The secondaries are shorter to give extra air to the engine faster at higher rpm.

yeah i agree and i wish the magnum parts worked on the dual. the head is awsome those parts are the only reason i would buy a sohc. but i have a dohc

That is the frst time I have heard anyone say they would rather have a magnum than a DOHC. They are both rated at 150HP, but you can always make more power with the DOHC.

Yes it bolts right up, but you will need to do some more things. read this post, it will help you...
