oh good job!! best job would be fire it out and stick on a stock cast iron mani iv about 10 of them here anyway the stainless 4 branchs make piss all diffrance to a stock one either way but they do look alot better, that one could be welded back no problem but it would deffo crack again and posibly trist the flange for the turbo and cause it to blow gaskets alot, it could be skimmed flat agian but deffo easyer to stick on a stock one!

iv been told that the stainless steel manifolds dont really make a huge difference and the standard one is just as good

Nice one. I'll drop into you tomorrow and get a manifold off you and see how much I can get done on the driveway.

Picked up a standard manifold off Gem today, for free. Gem for President.

Went at the car for a litte while, got the broken manifold off, then ran out off tools and daylight, so the flange is still attached to the turbo. I'm going to have to go tool shopping tomorrow and buy something to get in at the bolts holding the flange to the turbo. My, eh, spanner is too big.

Your spanner can't be that big if you haven't gotten control of the flange

Fair play Gem!

It can't get into the crevice.

If there was hair around the manifold you'd get it in!
