best advise i could give u is who ever is making the manifolds make sure they know what they are doing and only use 3mm steam pipe , everything is a compremize wen putting a turbo into vn -vp eg the manifolds have to made so u can access the spark plugs and the bolts to bolt the manifold to the head , even the manifolds i had made still make it every hard to get the plugs in and out and also u have to alow for where spark plug leads are going to sit , i had to have custom leads made with right angle ends on them with heat socks so they wont melt, u will need to extend the factory wiring a little bit not that hard to do , i relocated the ignition modual behind the head light witch didnt need anything cut, the oil drain needs to be plumbed back into the sump , u will need to remove the sump i welded a fitting right beside where the dip sitck goes into the sump , just be carefull were u mount the turbo becuase u have to have room for a air filter and intercooler piping and also bonnet clearence

wasting his time with the manifold change ive seen 2 355 turbos run 10's on the standard manifold with boost.
any reason why you sold it for mate?

i dont dought u for a second but what people do with there money is there own problem , no matter how much advise u give people they always like to learn the hard way , i just sold it coz i wanted something newer , now i got a vx ss , its a good car but i still would like something else maybe a vy vz, also the new owner told me it blows the tyres well into third gear, makes me think i should have kept it

true true with what you say mate.
