I looked at the top mount rv manifolds, turbo would be one inch into the hood. Zoomie option would be cool if I was 20 years younger. I think I am going to build a mini manifold that fits between the exhaust manifold and turbo. This will move turbo forward and down. The Glen's surplus downpipe is also an option that I may end up usingI was thinking that having more of a top mount setup would give you enough clearance to get a down pipe through there. Or, you know, there is always the zoomie pipe through the hood option.
^^^ Look at that, never see this before, very cool!Alternately, a cobra head exhaust elbow would likely fit in that space. Hard to tell without measurements of the room you have though.

I don't like the idea of adding a mini manifold between your existing manifold and the turbo. This introduces yet another gasket mating surface for leaks to develop. There can also be a fair amount of stress applied to the turbo housing from the rest of the exhaust as the engine mounts and frame flex, you may be extending the lever arm and adding stress to the manifold/cyl head.
YMMV.
I hear and agree with both responses, however am going to try it and then decide. If the manifold can take the added stress of compounds then I don't think the extra torque will be an issue. The leaks are a concern, but I am more worried about cooking marshmallows on the passenger firewall for right now.^^^ While it can work, I completely agree with Pacer. A mini manifold is a workaround, not a proper fix.
