#163168 I have the cast ebay one (I think it's a Drag knockoff?) and there's no way AC would fit with the way I have my turbo mounted. Compressor on driver side, hot side on passenger side. But I have a ton of room between the turbo and the block. So maybe t3 can be mounted the other way...

Here you can see what I mean, most of the turbo sticks out from the manifold. If it was flipped around I think AC would fit.

look into manifolds by:
DRAG
BLOX
Greddy
Edelbrock

here's a real DRAG mani on ebay:

says AC compatible, so I would think the knockoffs like mine would be too :thumb:

#163169 here's a knockoff, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Civic-CR ... 406wt_1167

btw, don't use that header gasket, go with OEM MLS one instead
