Where can i get a top mount mani for a d17?
I've looked everywhere for a top mount turbo manifold and thought i found one at jdmfabtech but they aren't ever replicating it for anyone. I've seen a couple other ones but no idea where to get one. Thanks for your help.

not to rain on your parade, but why a top mount? my first thought would be clearance issues due to the way the radiator support is made and the very tight clearance with the hood.

well i love the look, it makes it look a lot cleaner and just better if you ask me, if i spend all this money on a turbo i wanna see it lol. but ive seen it done and i already know ill probably have to use a half sized radiator but thats fine and the support beam shouldnt be an issue and if it is ill shave it or something. ive seen a few that have cleared it nicely but cant find where to get my hands on one.

No such device exists.
At least not for the D17 motor.
What you should do, is get the dezod one, then cut the plate off and weld it on upside down!! YEA!
Actually I don't think that would work, unlesss......you cut a hole in your hood! oh wait....Eh whatever.

You'd have to cut the front of your car up significantly, lose power steering, ac, and a significant part of your life savings too, hehe. The look is not worth the money unless you have bushels of $100 bills to burn.
