So I FINALLY got the engine in tonight. My original mani was toast, or so I thought. I asked a buddy to send his old one to me so I could use it. He had some family problems so he never sent it and I was kinda forced to get mine back up to snuff. When she went lean on the dyno the mani got so damn hot that every single stud warped. The three fittings that I had installed for the EMAP, and the EGT's were basically welded to the mani. Took the machine shop three days to get all the fittings out, redrill and retap, and pull out two busted studs and heli-coil them. I strait edged the mani and the turbo's and then seemed fine so we'll see what happens when she fires....... hopefully tuesday at this point. Still planning on being on the dyno late saturday the first......... hint hint Bill
