Again, conjecture and rhetoric with nothing backing it up. There are plenty of automobiles using well designed top mounts with little or no risk of damaging the hood, or plug wires, or radiator. You can purchase a heat resistant exhaust scroll shield from anywhere, you can purchase plug wire shields as well as spark plug boot shield as well.
As for RPM, there are plenty of engines with designs similar to ours that are doing the same thing as well. I think funhouse on here purchased a d16 manifold and used that with his 16G. JGS sells a flange for around $90 and the d16 manifolds are around $100 from eBay. This would give you plenty of options for the exhaust piping too. The only reason this hasn't been done is because nobody has bothered to do it, not because it shouldnt be done. I agree that the stock manifold is a good design but far from perfect, especially with an aftermarket turbo.
