Arrived a couple of days ago, figured I'd snap off some and highlight some areas if you've been looking at grabbing one.Manifold came in an inner box protected by peanuts and an outer box. Included were wastegate and turbo fasteners, wastegate, turbo and exhaust port gaskets, along with some stickers. Overall, you get what you pay for. Welds look nice, yet looks aren't everything - we'll see how it holds up. Some extra time will be needed with a die grinder, possibly a welder to clean things up to my liking, but in all honesty, I can't complain.

Shot a couple more with it on the motor

Wiring nest and nasty bay, well overdue for a respray.

You can see the turbo flange angle here. Large compressors would be no problem (clearing the motor, at least ).

Turbine housing and piping will be mighty close to that plastic resivoir, a bit worrisome. Wrapping and a heatshield will come.

Anyone else currently running this maniofold? Impressions?

WOW! That is the ugliest engine bay I have ever seen! But, good luck with the new parts. Keep us updated.

Haha, yeah. Thirty years, a shoddy repaint and some flaky coating wont win a concours, that's for sure.
