Man that turbo manifold really makes life hard. You can't tighten anything using socket tools just wrenchs. You can't even torqe them to the specs. Crazy.

yea i know how you feal i just installed one on my car last week.

whine, whine. ;-)

I've installed three, and taken my own off multiple times. It gets easier. Take a 13mm and cut it in half. makes getting the bottom bolts much easier

Mitifto... why did you paint your exhaust blue? Or is that just major overspray?

You hate it as much as the rest of us Dino (and whine too). :P Them crafty people at star sure aren't the brightest bunch of people when it comes to this manifold. <SARCASM>I sure love how everything just lines up perfect. And that one bolt to stud conversion that you have to use this nut that barely fits just makes me so happy.</SARCASM>

Do I sense some sarcasm about Star and their fine quality? I mean c'mon, they have the best fitting DP on the market.

My exhaust just has mad overspray. Going to add a apex n1 catback system when I finish with the turbo. I will also have my ride done in like 8 months, maybe. Come check it out

damn, another one...there are so many eclipses with that color blue...it never ends. i thought you were marcus at first cuz he has almost the same color as you and the same rear bumper, but he has an N! also i believe. ian's car is blue too, along with several others...thats the color i wanted a while back but jeez, its popular

what abuot a color changing blue to dark green? :D

Mine is a custom blue. Dark blue pearl with a pearl flame job running from the front down to the doors. Depending on the light the car changes color so my ride is one of a kind. Peace

hmm I might paint my MR2 that color bwhaha never seen one with that color yet :)

Yeah that log is a bitch to put on and take off soooo annoying. haha its true you can't even torque the bottom bolts. I just snugged them.

well fortunate for you guys that you even recv'd a manifold...i've been trying to get my hands on one for three months...i paid for my kit back in june and still don't have all of my parts...the mani being the most important...now i find out there is a big hassle w/ them....perfect...i haven't seen the way that they are designed..is there a way to get a crows foot around the bolt to make things easier??

I had no trouble putting on the manifold. When I put it on Daves car I didn't even take the turbo or wastegate off before I put it on his.
