Heh tell that to trevor

Make sure you orient the clamp that holds the hotside to the center section so that the nut is accessable from the top, closest to the block (point the bolt straight up and down). There's a little gap in the runners of the manifold that make it so its perfectly accessable, in case you ever need to separate the turbine housing from the center section on the car. Not sure how it's oriented stock, I forgot to look.

I think I did at one point, lol, but he was going to go bbk before

I honestly never checked the orientation. MAP took it apart for the coating and put it back and DB will be putting it on when the motor goes in, so whatever they do I might be stuck with, lol.

I suppose I could tell them when they are installing it so it is easy if I ever need to do that.

Thanks for the heads up Scheides.

Side note: I spoke with Full-Race, he might cut me a deal on their tubular mani if I show some back to back results vs the ported stocker. I was going to do this over the winter so we will see what happens.
