Thanks guys ^

I also Got my Greddy Timing Belt and New OEM Oil pan in ^_^




Got my Core in, Got it unbelievably cheap.

It was brand new just damaged in shipment to Enjuku.




Cleaned it up a little bit, but what do you expect with just a hammer, screwdriver and some pliers




So I got my Manifold in, I ended up just getting am XS-Power Manifold...... oh well

DO NOT BUY SHIT FROM XS-POWER THEY ARE WORTHLESS PIECES OF SHIT HERE ARE PICS SHOWING WHY.
NO R&D GO INTO MAKING THESE MANIFOLDS








Had some issues mounting this manifold.....

So despite reading posts from what ppl have said about XS Power, i purchased the Manifold to give them a chance.........
Turbo bolted up fine but the real challenge appeared to be the Head.....

Took an hour of dremeling to get the manifold to bolt up to the head




The top #2 and #5 cylinder bolt hits the manifold so i just shaved a little off the bolt


So after an hour of dremeling I got it to bolt up barely


Clearance is ridicules



Also the oil return hose dosent exactly reach so i either need to bend the tube or get a longer hose





Looks pretty?

Sent a (Friendly) Email to SSAC with pics and explanation of what was wrong with the manifold. So they sent me another (revised) manifold

Clears the V/C now, so i can remove the V/C without pulling the manifold ^_^






But now i got this nastyness inside on the runners 4-6...sigh this is what i get for cheaping out ;o;






Old manifold runners 4-6 were alot better




Made my own sticker too.
