I'm planning to turbo my m20b25 what manifold options have I got? I was planning a twin scroll revshift manifold but every time I check there website it says they are out of stock, I do not want an eBay manifold, no offense to anybody running one, are there any other options I don't mind importing one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I too would like to know as I'm collecting a my E30 next week & plan to turbo it next year. Are the turbo manifolds LHD/RHD specific or do they fit both?
The US seems to be a good place, anybody used KA Motors?

My guess is that a turbo manifold (at least for a high-mounted turbo) would be less likely to interfere with the steering than a tubular N/A manifold. Whether it fouls the oil filter is another matter...

I have an eBay manifold and it didn't interfere with the steering but it did with the oil filter

But it's well tested and they're not as bad as people think

Oil filter is easy enough, just use a relocation kit. It's fitting a decent enough sized downpipe that can be fun depending on what sort of power (thus dictating size) you plan on hitting.

Gunni rated the eBay ones providing they are well reinforced
