Hey guys. Finally got everything back. He did a good job repair the manifold, Pang also weld 2 brackets on the flange for addition support. Test fit everything, looks good. I hope i will hold up this time. Also bought innovative mounts but lost it in the mail. So I'm not sure if I should wait for my mounts or just install everything and do the mounts later. What do you guys think? here's a few pics of my new set up.

 

+i would wait till i get my mounts then install

 

Be sure to use METAL ty-wraps on the heat wrap.. and use LOTS of them and tighten them as hard as you can... The recirculated setup is awesome!

 

Yea those plastic zip ties will burn up in a heart beat.

 

^ yeuuuuuup, been there done that, lol

 

thank you everyone, for your advice. I got everything installed today. Frame and downpipe clear but sitting awfully close. I think it might hit from engine vibration. I guess i'll wait for my mounts. Also those zip ties are metal so I think it'll be ok.

 

If it's close, try readjusting your v-bands and discharge on the downpipe. There will be some amount of wiggle/offset possible in each connection. I like to get everything close but still loose enough to slightly move, then adjust everything where I want it, then finally tighten everything down. Be careful of putting too much stress on the wastegate connection.

I just bought Hasport 85A motor mounts, I don't want anything to move around, and potentially hit/crack etc

 

Those are gonna a rattle you to death. I went with the 70a hasport .

Honestly, my car vibrates and rattles to holy hell now, so I figure One of two things is going to happen, I won't notice or it will be so extreme that it's awesome, haha
