Which E-Bay turbo manifold fits a 6-port best?

Just as the topic states, which EBay manifold (FC or FD) requires the least amount of modification to work on a 6-port 13B?

Thanks guys.

None of them fit.

The lower intake on the NA sticks out WAY farther then the TII intake.

You will either need to make your own manifold or space out an existing manifold. Manifolds designed for aftermarket turbos probably won't space out far enough before you start hitting other things (strut tower, frame, etc.).

I know that none of them fit, and am prepared to modify it further to get it to fit. I'm trying to figure out which of the two manifolds fits best. From what I've seen, the FD manifold looks best.

Thanks for the reply!

The FD manifold will have more clearance then the TII manifold because the FD intake is thicker...But it's all the other areas you have to worry about. By the time you get it spaced out far enough, you might find that the turbine hits the shock tower. Or the wastegate line hits the frame. At that point you have moved enough stuff around to the point where it would have been easier and cheaper to get some flanges, grab some pipe and make a new manifold.
