Should work, but they are VERY thin. 304 stainless will crack.

Just FYI, try to refinforce it if possible.



The price is awesome though.

BAH, don't listen to Directfreak https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png That manifold looks to be welded pretty good. The welds look better than my manifold and mine is still 100% crack free after 1200 miles. If you brace it the chances are it will crack, not prevent cracking. SS likes to move around with temp changes. One thing that looks strange on it is the turbo flange side. A T04 flanged turbo may bolt up to it but the ports aren't matched right. You may find that what ever turbo you run will hit the lower intake manifold because the FC lower sticks out a little farther than the FD ones. Time will tell how it will pan out for ya.

I'm wondering if it will hit too.Oh well.I still need a HKS wastegate and T04B this winter then spring next year will be drag time. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
