What did you do today to your 3/S?

[R/T93]

THAT might explain some of your issues at the track

Yes most likely, the recent autocrosses have sucked

From the phone.

Its hard to take pics aying half ass bent over in the rear engine bay lol. Just cant make that angle to get it over the studs . there is a reason the stock manifold is curved. am gonna give it one more shot but dont have much hope. I really dont want to start grinding down the rear motormount. The rear stock manifold flows equally as good as the gtech one I am pretty sure plus the stock one will seal better with the heat o ring. I tried! DoI get a trophy now for participating?

I will be going for a new one/refund if this is the case...

LOL, good luck getting anything back from Gil. Just trim the engine mount. If it makes you feel better, all DR kits require you cut a decent bit off the rear engine mount and i dont think anyone has seen negative results from doing so.

Maybe you had some older T3 manifolds. I had the 1st revision that was on Jeremy's Stealth before he went single turbo. Yeah with the 3076Rs it needed trimmed. Both did. I got the 2nd revision kit and DR-900s fit without modification. PTE 5857s fit without modifying the brackets also. I can see if you didn't do a low enough profile on the oil drains the brackets would interfere. As far as the compressor cover I never had issues.

Ahh, i didnt know that was part of his revisions. Good to know.

Yeah there's 2 revisions I'm aware of. The originals which he sold 5 of. The quality and welds weren't the best. I know either Jeremy or Rob had them welded up from cracking plus the position in relation to everything else wasn't as nice as it is now. He revised them and sold them with the grey ceramic coating for a few years which is what I had/am selling. Then he had too many complain about everything not bolting together because they would tighten the bolts as they put something on instead of waiting until towards the end. So to help with that he put a flex section in the 02 housing. It wasn't needed. He also switched to a near chrome ceramic coating. That's as much as I know.

Put my stock rear exhaust mani back on and put the new rear turbo in only to find out that my rear coolant line dont fit anymore. waiting for an adapter.

I wonder what everybody else that got these are gonna do . its not an easy feat to grind that rear mount down.

[FeaRpb]

Hey Mark, does it hit the mounting point that is on the car itself or the mount connected to the engine?

Would having maximal solids make a difference?
