Im about to pick one up but I was wondering who here is running one and if you can post clearance pictures? Also if you would state the mount kit you have for reference. Im putting in a new turbo and have tophat / core mounts and the turbo requires a 1/2" spacer to clear the stock manifold so im looking to see if it would work

I ran a 1/2 spacer on my old rb series i had about a 1/4 inch of clearence with the stock o2 housing i know if you use a stainless divorcesd o2 housing even with the spacer i have to bash it almost flat or slot motor mounts and shift it way over if that helps any

What mounts were you using?

No one else runs this elbow?

I can' shoot pics until tomorrow but I have the Syko kit with the Skyline cross member and couldn't be happier. I have 1/4-3/8" clearance to the steering gear and the Syko elbow is a nicely made piece.

I am also using top hat mounts with a syko elbow, plenty of clearance. I'll take some pictures for you if I get home before sunset

Been running my Skyo outlet with zero lift mounts for a few years with no issues, nicely made piece and is kinda keeping me from switching to top mount and just picking up a hypergear turbo.

I actually got a hypergear turbo. But it requires a spacer for the turbo to clear the manifold.

Follow up Photo (that rubbery thing is probably going to melt on my first track day):

It wont, trust me, i tracked my car for nearly an hour and it doesn't show any signs of melting or damage from heat.

That's great, thanks for the heads up.
