hello, Im looking into getting a top mount turbo kit for my d16y8. However when i look at what they include, the only include the flange. Does anyone know any 5bolt 2.5" downpipes that would work? Or will i be stuck making my own. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

in most cases it wont because your off the shelf downpipes are not made for top mount setup and from what Ive seen mosttop mounts use large turbos with v bands

you would have to find a downpipe that states "top mount use" or something like that, you would be able to tell the difference looking at them

why are you going with a topmount setup anyway if you mind me asking

Im going with the top mount for the simple fact that i need my p/s. I daily drive, mainly highway to boston. However in boston, not having p/s would be way to hard for all the tight, quick, parrellel parking i do. Thanks for the input, il keep looking.

The best thing to do is get the downpipe made for you so it'll fit perfectly without any extra cutting.
