Pretty much self explanatory.
For size reference sake thats an M30 w/ GT40R and 3.5" tubing. Pics/pricing of the manifold will be available after the holidays.

Is the top-mount the only option? I was kinda hoping it was going to be a bottom mount like todd's, unless there's an advantage to the top-mount?

There isn't enough room to mount a turbo that size any lower than that. He's got it up above the main frame rail for clearance.

Well...most people run GT35's or T04's bottom-mount on the TCD manifold I was gonna run a big GT30, so size isn't an issue.

Size isnt really an issue since as you said most people run a moderately sized turbo. When I build a manifold I like to mock it up with the largest turbo someone might use. Its just another option since a fair number of people have expressed interest in a stainless tubular manifold that can use common tangential turbine housings.

all I was asking is if there may be a bottom-mount tubular manifold in future lineup, thats all.

There may be someday. I get the most requests for top mounts so thats the priority. Im always looking to add new designs/applications so who knows.

Is there enough room for a RHD steering box under there?

There's plenty of room. The turbo manifold does not hang any lower than the stock exhaust manifolds. Once its all finished I will get some pics from underneath the car.
