If this is a daily driver I would go back to an OEM manifold and use a high quality garret turbocharger in the stock location using OEM style drain hose, clamps.
Get new gaskets & hardware. Clean everything spotless especially where the gaskets sit. Prep the surfaces properly and use that new high quality high temp hardware to bolt everything down.
Then, use a proper downpipe support brace to the transmission mount like OEM uses. The downpipe MUST be braced to the chassis or trans mount or something like that or it will vibrate and ruin the turbo gaskets/hardware and everything will come loose or break.
Another route is top-mount. Although top mount is IDEAL it is for experienced users only. But if you have the $$ for a power FC, 1000CC injectors, top mount manifold & a new borg warner turbo and fabrication skills/funds to make the correct downpipe and all that it would be superior to anything bottom mount related.
