Yes, can do the manifold with the turbo absolulety anywhere(obviously within reason). I have 2 other low mount manifolds lined up at present, depending on whether I make the one for OVL087 top or low mount. Will find out in the next week or 2.
As for making the collector join the plate neatly, I'll post one up next week, I'm making a split pulse To4 manifold tomorrow for TroyVK. I'll PM the mods and join up so I can attach them myself.

Is that manifold split pulse cal-a-kid?? Or does it just have a split pulse plate on an open collector?? If its the later, I'm surprised it works that well, thats a real big no no!! No split turbines on open collectors!!!!! EVER!!!! You can go the other way though no probs, open housing on split manifold.

cant wait to c it kyle
thanks heaps again
n sorry for takin so long to make my mind up as to what turbo lol

yeah well i was decidin between 3 turbos, 1 was to big, the other suplier was dodgy so i decided on the other
but it only came in split pulse t3 so im gettin a bigger split pulse t4 rear for it
all sorted it should work very well but gotta setup the head properly n get the coil arrangment sorted out
motor goes back in wit the c4 and new diff so should b all workin a treat....hopefully
cant wait to c how this manifold works!!
Its always a bit of a bitch when you change lots of things and you end up with something your not happy with, you don't know which part it was that made the problem, like if it was too laggy. Typically, at GT35 with a 1.06 rear would make full boost at 4200rpm or sooner on a VL, but on cmy747's car, beacuse the converter doesn't lock up till 5400, it doesn't transmit load to the turbo as much to spool it up quicker. Mind you, the thing is so responsive it run a 1.68 60ft just foot braking it on low boost, and on high boost it sounded like he transbraked it it came up so hard. His car takes about 2 to 3 seconds from the time you mash the throttle till you hit full boost. Makes a genuine weight shifted 500hp too Who said pump fuel and stock bottom ends were ****
Your car will be a bit of an unknown Troy, as I don't know how eell the converter will suit your turbo and cam. It should be big enough seeing as how its out of pannic when it had the 1147c and the GT42 on it, as long as it isnt TOO big. I think you will be quite hapy with the results though, I imagine if you get your ignition up to scratch there is no reason it won't go 400rwhp, its got everything cols does. Or almost. Should easily run a 10 anyway.

id b stoked wit 400 on matts dyno
it seems lik its pretty hard to get that on his dyno
if i hit that then id b wrapped!!
its only goin there on straight pump fuel tho, no additives or anythin
i just want it to do more than what it done b4
plus im goinback to a single coil setup hopefully
which is the best coil to use? will the std vl coil suffice or not?
Maybe put up a post and ask people what they run and power they make. I know the EA falcon coils are good, they are a genuine HEI bosch coil, and $20 from a wrecker. But people can share with you what boost an HP levels theirs brake down at and stuff, I would think even call mat and ask him in his experience with VL's what they have had and what HP they make for a given ignition system.

yeha ill ring matt
gotta ask him bout changin back to a single coil anyway
mite actually go out there now n c him
thanks mate
look forward to receivein the manifold
im not in any real hurry for it tho
thanks mate
cheers

Haven't done any yet, about to do 2 for RB26 headed RB30's. But as most of my work is all custom fabricated anyway, I can put the turbo anywhere you want and to suit any application. If you're not happy with it, send it back and I'll make another one that better suits your needs.
Cheers....................6BOOST
man 6boost i im in love with your work, good on ya for helping out all the boys on this forum.... i will be needing a manifold real soon, ill be pm you for some specs & prices!!
i really like troys one... looks awesome!!!
great work keep it up!
as meantioned - great to have a person with this talent on the forum

Thanks a lot for the kind words guys, its nice to know others think they look the goods. As for materials, they are all made from steam pipe, the straights are made from heavy wall steam tube the same internal diameter as the bends, and I only use long radius and 45 degree bends in my manifold, I will NOT use short radius 90's on any manifold I make. I also do not tig weld them myslef, I have them profeesionally tig welded by someone who has been in the industry for 17 years and builds rails, doorslammers and altered's out of chromoly, I'd be loath to sacrifice the quality and finish of my manifolds to save some $$$ doing it myself until I was a LOT better at tig welding.......
Better start savin that 6g for a tig to practice on

PS, keep an eye out in the coming months for a few very recognised turbo cars from around the country sporting 6boost manifolds, from 600hp awd's to 1000+hp 6 cylinders I hope to be doing some back to back testing for them.

Ay pics yet Troy?? ANd have you sat a head on your engine and put it on to see how it looks and fits?? And don't forget to post in my trader rating!!
6BOOST
wont know if it goes close to chassis cause the motor is out of the car
it wont go ova my longer studs aswell so im goin to pull them out n put your 1s in (which i was doin anyway) n c how it all fits
cant c it hittin anythin tho
ill check the PS lik u said tho
will put pics up in bout 10
cheers
