Here are some tips that are really useful when making a front faced turbomanifold.
I built one but you gotta THINK hard before doing one.
1- Make sure there is room for a downpipe from it hitting the block
2- Make sure the turbo is straight and not sitting on a angle (1st manifold I made was not and the oil started to leak around the drain line brcause the oil flow)
3- Place Rad as a template so you know what to work around with
4- Have room for the intercooler piping
5-Place wastegate around where you wanna have it and watch for the flow as well for the WG.
6- Once wastegate is placed to where you want it, make sure there is room for a WG pipe
7-clearness for closing hood
Some of the tips I did not go by from doing first manifold and thats why I ran into problems and had to make a new one
