If or when I get my Element, I should be mocking up a Turbo manifold, with a T4. I think this should be good for this engine to give me what I want. I need to do some more research on the engine before doing so though. if you have any info about this...drop me an email Staticscreentv@yahoo.com

Me?

Anyway, T4 is too big, mate a T3 flange to it. Are you talking about fabricating your own manifold, or just looking for a prefab? By that time, Rev Hard will have introduced theirs, which will be a T3 manifold, and GReddy may have a kit out too, which will mate a Mitsubishi turbo to it. Regardless, the Rev Hard one is the one you will want to go with anyway...

I had a T4 on a SOHC hatch and it was ok...I thought it would be allright for the E's engine...but I have not gotten to even get my hands on one yet. For the manni...I will make my own.

Straight T4 on an SOHC? It'll work, granted, but it will not be nearly as efficient as say, a T3/T4 on a Civic. It's just way too big. Even on the 2.4L Element engine, a straight T4 is an overkill. You will get much faster spool times from a T3/T4 hybrid turbocharger.
