Damn that's nice!
We're RHD in Aus so most of the manifolds I've seen won't fit because of the steering shaft. But mounting the turbo infront of the engine may avoid that problem.
Can you have a look at your steering shaft and imagine the mirror version of it on the other side and let me know if you think it'll hit the turbo manifold? I'll probably buy one anyway to test and even modify.

I went ahead and thought it up for the 2004 S2000's but didn't consider RHD cars. The 2004's have extra bracing and stuff but the downpipe should hopefully still fit. We'll find out not too long from now I hope

I will have a look at it for you. I dont think it will fit but after I get my manifold back finished up, I'll measure it out for you. Should take about 2 weeks.

Very nice.... Are you still going with an after market/custom intake?
In one of you pictures, it seems that the turbo in very close to a tube/pipe.... any concerns?

I'm assuming you're talking about the A/C lines. Nope, no concerns because I haven't finished moving them around. The way they are now are only to give initial room for the turbo and etc. I'll finish arranging stuff as I go along. Making heat shields, adding heat wrap, and heat deflectors.
