Not sure but the car is in Japan. I'm not familiar with anyone in Japan making a top mount either.

Yep. Tubing is quite different the more you look at it. Look at the pipe wrapped with header tape underneath the turbo and the pipe coming out of the throttle body.

Here are two pics of the PTP. Still different. I wonder why they changed the MAF location?

Which makes me realize I do not see the MAF on Japanese car. I wonder if it is hidden or MAP tuned.

Pic off PTP's site



Older pic from car and driver of the PTP pic. The only close up pic I could find.

Could just be a custom job? I like how they relocated the battery, I've been pondering adding a 2nd one to my car for the stereo side of things and looking at how different things might look/work, I wonder what kind of power that car is putting out, looks like a nightmare to route all that tubing.

might just be either the PTP or SFR manifold with a custom turbo and piping setup.
