I'm putting together a ge-t mk3 right now using the dm 60-1 kit, piping clears although the elbow they welded on thinking they're doing people a favor ****ed me over pretty good. Only thing I didn't like about he manifold was the ****ty job they did decking the turbo flange.

what size turbo would be helpful. you can use a side mount manifold to get some more clearance, or not use that large of a turbo.

I just had a Treadstone cast manifold for an IS300 installed on my 93 SC300 and it fits splendidly on the car which has a Garrett GT3076 on it. You may get lucky in the for sale pages of the Supra forum. I saw one being sold for $350 previously. I believe they are $450 brand new. If the turbo you are using has a T4 mount, then you'll be fine. In my case, the Garrett was a T3 so we just tig welded a T3 flange directly and it works like a charm. The manifold eliminates the problem that the distributor poses for top mounted turbos. I also like the look because the manifold is a cast stainless unit so it doesn't rust at all. You might want to check this out.
