I've hated not to be able to close the hood all the way, so I finally pulled it into the garage and tore off the exhaust manifold/turbo to clock the Turbo.
BEFORE:
AFTER (Not done yet).
I'll post up how it looks when I'm done.. can't wait until I get a welder so I can get that **** done right. :lol:
Should be getting it dyno tuned within the next few weeks after I get this problem, and a stud out of the fuel rail fixed. Then maybe some Coilovers, and a nice set of CCW Classics.

In fact giving it a bit more thought, you NEED to get a iat sensor. As things stand you are making fuel calculations based on the air temp before the turbo. Have faith they are very different at the throttle body. You will have to get that sorted before you march down to the dyno or they will laugh you out of the place.

I have seen the placing a steel brace from the turbine welded as an L shape and the other ended bolted to the engine seems to be the fix with those ebay manifolds.
In MX-3 forums thats how the fix/stop the manifold from cracking. The brace is not from the manifold to the engine.
