and, i'd like to try and keep my power steering. i like it. i actually prefer to keep it. the manifold i'm getting, might let me keep it, not sure yet. but, i think i might be able to.

i wouldn't mind a wire tuck, but i'm not planning on keeping the car forever or i would. thinking about getting it done, tuned, and driving it till next spring and getting something else. lol.

yeah, i know. but its being done on a budget. i can get cheaper manifolds than a meutek manifold. i'm trying to go boost by spending under a certain dollar amout. $700. i don't want to spend more than i absolutely have to.

close, but no. i got my manifold in the mail today. it is a tubular one. but, i couldn't pass up the price of it. i really don't care what people say about stainless steel manifolds cracking. its my car, lol. and this is on a budget, period. i'll post post pics a little later of it.

today i got my manifold. its a tubular no name one. it was pretty cheap. i got it for so cheap cause it has one crack in it, and a broken bolt in the turbo flange. sooo, all i gotta do is pull the bolt out and fix the weld. then i'm going to coat the entire manifold with POR15. its a metal coating that doesn't wear down or crack. its like a bondo for exhaust manifolds, lol.
cost was:
manifold on ebay $67.99 shipped to my door.

Hhhmm, what does a fuel pressure gauge do anyways? Besides tell you how much pressure is in there. Unless the pressure tells how much gas you have left in your gas tank....

tells you what the fuel pressure is when you have an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator. so you don't load your car up on fuel, or run it too lean. lol
i always liked the style of those manifolds. hopefully you can get it all fixed up and dont have any problems with it once its on the car. i know personally how much of a pain in the *** it is to have to take a manifold off a car to get it fixed over and over again
