I dont like those kinds of manifolds. But my friend with a Mr-2 Says, that a PROPERLY welded stainless manifold is better then a cast manifold anyday. Not my words, but I kinda see where hes comming from.

yea its SS but like M2 said some people have been running SS for awhile with no problem.
If I had a 1.8 I would job on it but at last, my poor 1.6 will have to deal with a custom made manifold by me.... poor poor car...lol

but just for comparison that is 670 with a turbo and partial downpipe. I am not supporting that thing becasue i know it is a piece of crap, but that same setup with the same components used in the series 4 kit would cost atleast twice the price of this auction. Well worth it in my opinion as i'm sure this one would just brake and you would ahve to buy another anyway.

I'd be hesitant comment on the quality of anything w/o actually having it in my hands, installing it and using it. I have a $60 SS Autochrome 16ga. tubular stainless manifold on my car and it hasn't failed... yet. :gay: I keep saying that.
Definitely a unique solution to keep the turbo from hitting the block - just remove the block.

No, or if they did, they didn't say anything. I'll ask when I bring the car in for a downpipe if they think it'll be an issue. If so, I will have them or a friend fab some kinda brace up. I wouldn't know because this is my first turbo project, so I'm still learning. If you want, I can measure parts of it, just tell me where.
