Eh, I really want a new manifold and turbo. Fucking hate looking at that chinese shit lol. Well the manifolds not chinese but it's based off a chinese one. The V-Band clamp on the back of the turbo leaks, and I can't change it because of how it's welded onto the exhaust housing. But I'm at the point where I wanna just get the basic shit done and get the car running, then play with the other shit later. Been 2.5 years now since I got to drive her. Time to pull the finger out.

Odd question cunts, can you see any issues with my cramming some roof insualtion in behind the heat shield for the exhuast under the car, just wanna make it a bit cooler on my feet. It's gonna corrode the heat shield isn't it.

If you mean that pink or yellow insulation that's used in residential construction, that stuff doesn't like getting wet. When it does, it will take a pretty long time to dry out which is just asking for corrosion. Also not sure what temp that stuff goes up in flames - near an exhaust might be too hot.
