top vs bottom mount turbo headers

Operation delete 240 insert 180

Just purchased a CA18DET to swap into my 1991 S13 this winter. I'm currently putting together my grocery list of parts for the thing.

While looking for headers, I notice that I can go either top mount or bottom mount. Any recommendation for this. I just plan on upgrading the turbo to a T28rs, so the weight shouldn't be overwhelming.

Also, anyone around the Albany, NY area check out this JDM shop. They are called Japanese Star Motors. Great guys to buy from.

stay bottom mount unless you have to go upper, ie turbo is to large to fit downlow...less hassle involved
