I have a T04s and will be getting a manifold soon. I'm thinking of getting one from South Florida Performance.



My question is what is tangenal, on-center, and divided.



I just need these explained to me and what are the advantages of these options?



Here is my turbo

A divided housing will usually allow for slightly quicker spooling. The on-center housings only come undivided. It's mainly just a mounting issue that separates on-center from tangential.

I just know where to get the right information...most of the time. I just wish I was more than an armchair turbo guy right now.

Why the hell did you do that, for fun? I'm wishing I had gone with a more simple setup. I spent $1600 to have my manifold made, and I"m pretty sure that the turbo isn't going to fit. Oh well.

I'm afraid that the turbo will hit the strut tower. I guess I'll find out.
