Pretty much any workshop that sells aftermarket manifolds are able to get in top mount, although why do you want to top mount a stock turbo? |

double the usual cost of a low mount stainless manifold,and you'll be close. on top of the manifold itself,you need a new dump pipe,custom oil feed and return lines,custom water lines in and out,and a custom intake setup. you can get a smoother piping path and more equal length runners by going high mount,but unless you really need to,it's a lot of extra expense for not much benefit. don't forget you'll also need to fabricate a lot of extra heat shielding,especially for the ABS if your car runs it,and the bonnet skin,which you'll likely burn the paint off of.

http://www.pbase.com/elite180/image/41667669 for a setup like this you will be looking at about $4000-$5000 depending on how cheap you get the parts, this includes installing of the parts GT28, internal wastegate, high mounted |

I can't understand why you would high mount such a smallish turbo. I personally think it would look dumb. Go with a low mount and have the manifold and piping polished if you like shinny things. Or buy a bigger turbo and high mount that. |

very true, wait till you have enough money to get all the components then get them installed in one big hit, will save time and money |

my top mount setup didnt cost near that  lol, u can get top mount manifolds for around 500-600 dollers, u can use ur stock dump, and put an extender pipe in like i did n change the angle slightly not hard, u need to fabricate some new piping tho in my case i cut the old one shorter and used silicon right angle hoses that worked fine

more importantly, why on earth would you go to a high mount turbo and a custom manifold, but still use the stock dump?

i had a CES dump on my car, i had to cut off old flange, n reuse another flange , where it starts going down under car u cut it and put a longer pipe in , only thing had to modify in that sense.... oh and also the position of the turbo is slightly different so u do have to reweld it on a bit of an angle to face the turbo lot of takin it on and off to suit , but worked in the end
