One additional note for you guys that are interested in buying the manifold. After driving the car for about 3 days, I discovered an exhaust leak. The leak came from where the manifold sits on the turbo. What happenend is the gasket they included in the kit some how broke off in the front exposing a small hole between the manifold and turbo. I have since changed the gasket to the stock gasket that is metal. Other then this it has been a good buy.

Yeah when I was installing mine, the shop refused to use any of the included gaskets. We stayed with the stock ones as well, after looking at these gaskets I wouldn't recommend anyone use 'em.

If you read one of my earlier posts I had to redrill some of the holes to make it fit perfectly. You may just have to make the rear holes a little bigger for play at the rear of the turbo manifold. Hope this helps.

Yea I agree, the faster spool up was the first thing I noticed. Yup sounds like you had to drill out the same two holes I had to do. Also on gasket where the manifold meets the turbo make sure you use your stock gasket or buy a new stock gasket, don't use the one they include because it will fall apart.

I used Metric 16 bolts. Just used some Lock Tite and screwed them in. I went to Midas and they gave me the bolts for free.

I bought the same manifold of ebay about a year ago. The ebay manifold has cnc flanges and comes with gaskets and bolts. Mine bolted up with no issues. It has not cracked nor have i had any problems with it. You can really notice the power increase 6500 + rpm.
