Nice, looks like mine except newer. You may have to make a custom bracket for that wastegate, and you will clearly have to reclock.

Some advice about that manifold:
-Even though you can install without taking out the radiator, it will make it soo much easier for you if you do.
-Unbolt the turbo from the manifold while installing.
-Removing the alternator will make things a lot easier too, esp for oil management.
-DO get an oil pressure reducer from jgstools.
-PM with any questions.

I've never heard about that 20 psi thing, I drop way under that when my engine is warmed up. I don't have any problems with that...

Gary, what's wrong with that manifold? Are you saying that because its logstyle?

hate to be a buzz kill, but i have to say it

there wont be a good seal from the log header to the exhaust housing.

that flange style is from a volvo, and when i had a turbo like that bolted to a standard t3 flange it leaked, badly.

took replacing the exhaust housing to get it to not leak.

on the plus side, its clean

What is the first thing I said when i posted this thread......

So you think so? I see no gap but who knows... we'll find out.














97sccelica thanks for letting me know. so when it happens it won't be a shock
