I like the option that you do a sidewinder. But your wanting to keep this one off manifold from SRT. So I assume you could just do a t3 flange to a 3" pipe to another t3 flange. That would be your best and easiest option. Pretty much like what's on the picture of that Si above.

Honestly the way I'm Envisioning this done is not going to restrict flow. Your simply relocating the turbo and shortening charge pipes which will reduce turbo lag. So in my eyes it is only going to benefit you. And you can get a vband hit side for your turbo and just have a vband welded to your 3" pipe coming off the manifold.
Like this....
Turbo manifold to t3 flange, t3 flange-3" adapter piping, 3"adapter piping to vband....to vband hot side of turbo.

I think you could do it that way or t3 to t3. I don't think flow would be affected much at all. I'm sure they make flare out piping or w/e. Take a look at Vit's manifold on myvtecbroke.com. There is no reason you couldn't get a pipe like his but that is designed for a square flange on each end...
I meant welding a 3" pipe straight to a t3 adapter, will that kill flow to the turbo? It would be T3 flange with 3" pipe welded to it, 90* to vband, and vband hitside of turbo. Simple as a pimple. But that flow, will it be ok?

Never thought of that actually. I don't want to impede flow though, that's very important. I'd need the pipe welded on the T3 flange to go from the 'rectangular' to circular flow. Make sense?
Woah, wait. Whos car is that? That's an Si
Trying to keep you participated haha
I'll get it custom welded, probably a v-band.
That's my car, were gonna see how this thing works, good thing is if it doesn't work out its no big deal we will make a new manifold !
What are you going to do with your EVAP and fuel line?
Evap would go under, probably fuel too depends on how low it is. If its low enough i'd just go over the top by the cowl and wrap it in gold foil for the heat protection, aside from the obvious ballerific look of gold ish in your bay.

My guess is he's running an aftermarket fuel setup so he can route the feed and return around/under/out of the way of the manifold how he pleases.
I'm assuming evap would be deleted. At least mine was within a month of owning the car.

How do you pass inspection? I guess as long as no visual inspection is done you are ok?
