I think the one reason they changed the Turbo position is because all the reports of manifold burns. Saab did the same thing. Only problem is that heat tends to rise and turbo system is right under the engine now. Don't think this setup is going to be as reliable as the 4G63 at all.

oh Jesus stop all of your whining.
If you go big turbo you do a twister manifold like the K20's use and manage to get 500whp on stock block stock internals. Its not rocket science. If AMS can make over 800hp on that **** 2.4 in the SRT thats set-up the same way, then they will sure as hell make god power out of the 4B11.
the motor is turned that way because its more efficient. The exhaust gases come out of the motor and follow a direct path backwards to the rear of the car. Instead of having to go down half a foot, make an almost 90 degree bend and then wriggle its way to the back of the car. Again it isint rocket science.
and WTF cares about the damn plastic? take it off if you dont like it on there

I don't see any reason why you can't just use a tubular manifold and relocate the turbo to the side (where the airbox is located in the N/A Lancer engine bay pics already shown).
This guy's current setup was pushing about 500whp and climbing (he was still trying to squeeze some extra power out). I would think that if a factory N/A motor (using that turbo manifold, as it's the best one available for the K-Series engine) can respond that well to boost, than an engine thats turbo from the factory should be able to do the same if not better.
Coming from a K-Series background (I currently own a 2002 Civic Si), this motor greatly resembles my own and looks to be promising. Many K-Series motors out there are performing very well in the turbo department. They are not too hard to work on, you just gotta have patience and some knowhow. I can't wait for the launch of the new Evo, and I'm interested to see its aftermarket developments.
