Can't complain about the quality of the manifold

Except for the wastegate placement; the exhaust has to almost do a 270 deg turn. It might run into some boost creeping issues IMO

Thanks! Although I am personally running that exact same WG setup, and I havn't had any creep issues. It held my WG spring pressure of 8psi just perfectly.

Yeah, I noticed that Hondas don't run too much into boost creep issues because almost every manifold out there I've seen has the wastegate inlet pipe directed the wrong way

Agreed. I make sure I use the biggest possible hole saw when cutting the WG hole in the collector. I also try and port the sides of the collector hole before I weld on the WG tube. So far, I havn't had anyone tell me they have creep issues. The only reason I've mounted the WG in that position is because of space issues in the tight 4th gen chassis'.

It is all relative to the turbo, the bigger the exhaust housing/wheel is the more likely it is to creep.

Yup...but these are T3 specific and with my .63ar stg5 wheel, I don't have any creep. I'm willing to be that the .82ar would be fine as well.
