If you want a ramhorn style manifold that will work with an EFR and retain AC/PS talk to abe at ARTech. I know he has a top mount that will work and I am fairly positive he has a bottom mount that will work too. I know I asked him about it in another thread and he said he would have to test it with an EFR to make sure but he said it should work.
FrankB is also putting an EFR on his stock motor and he went out and got the low boost wastegate which is 6psi, I believe, to be sure he did not vent the block. I for one say buy once. Always try to modify with your absolute end goal in mind so you don't have to redo your setup every time you get the itch for more power.

Any benefits to top or bottom mount? I think I am going this route.

I don't know what any of these acronyms mean - log mani, MS, fmic, etc – but I have enjoyed reading this thread very much. I find it amusing that this turbo thing has a complete language all its own and I am glad you guys know what it is!

Top mount manifolds sacrifice optimal flow for ease of packaging and maintenance. The turbo is very easy to get to in the engine bay and is clear from the AC/PS. This also places the turbo near some items in the engine bay that need to be protected from the heat including but not limited to the dipstick, fluid lines/resevoirs, etc.

Bottom mounts are better for flow because of the downpipe path not having so many hard bends. The packaging for bottom mounts usually makes retaining AC/PS very difficult. They are also harder to work on.
