Because when i installed the 1st adapter i welded it straight in without removing the manifold, and there are a ton of leaks, plus removing that manifold is almost impossible the studs and nuts are rusted beyond beleif. The new manifold came off extremely easy and its much cleaner then the other one...

Looking into your 2nd engine bay picture.... it looks like you've implemented the boostgate setup? 8-) Also it looks like you are using an external slave to operate the clutch??? What transmission is that ? Ohh yes boostgate for the win!! Love the sound it produces and the boost is very stable! The...
