Cheers mate
Regards the exhaust manifold, I can mig weld but dont have a tig setup, think stainless needs a decent setup? Any ways to check if the manifold is actually cracked? without fitting it on the car, getting the car running and mapped only to find out its got a split? Anyone know someone in south yorkshire who could weld the split for me? It looks like theres a lot of weld inside the collector behind the crack, I just dont know if its a new or an old crack that is sealed. I did think of pressure testing it with water but its really when its hot that a split would open up more I guess?

Not sure on other options, was thinking about focus rs one? would that fit?
My hp goals are 350-400 hp and I will be happy at that, I dont know if cvh would flow that but if I can keep the tubular I will be!


thanks for the pics of your oil drain, Will get some pictures up of how mine is though I was going to take the manifold off again to check this crack.Will take some before I do. Its getting mega tight for clocking the turbo to actually fit so I can get oil feed fitting on and get the drain in a suitable angle of <15 degrees.


good point on hydraulic hoses, will look at push fit ones like yours


About the injectors, that was my mistake. Had a load of stuff going on and thought I had ones that fitted, it turns out they dont. I thought they fit the same as impreza 440s, side feed. Will check again why they dont and take a pic! cheers
