I've got a 94 180sx, found a good deal on HKS GT2530, and gonna pick it up. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a crazy ass manifold, so I'm either going to buy a ebay T3 top mount manifold or an adapter for my stock bottom mount manifold.

So what problems will I get with either setup? Haven't worked on SR20's too much, so this is all new to me. Just trying to prepare myself for problems I might run into during the install. Are there any clearing issues using an adaptor? Will I have modify the downpipe since the turbo will sit lower? Will the top mount mainfold have any trouble clearing anything? Like A/C lines or power steering or anything?

Thanks!
