B16 turbo del sol, need help
To start I owned a jeep and traded it for this car. Fairly mechanical but not an expert with things so correct me if I'm wrong and help me out if I'm jacked up.
I have a turbo Del Sol with a B16 engine swap.
If you look at the engine there is currently a ram horn turbo manifold. the top bolts dont fit on so its only bolted on the engine by the bottom and side bolts. i dont like this as its done shitty and wrong i want it to fit on right. The turbo on this car is huge and if size matters ill figure out how big it is and get back to you. but my main question is what is the best turbo manifold that will fit on this car and not blow or **** my engine up. the current setup is working but i dont like how old rusty and cobbed it is. if what i have works i guess ill keep it but i want to learn more.
an example of the bolts not on is look to the right of the oil dipstick in the picture... no bolt holding it on

You want all studs bolted as that's heavy ****. Ram or mini ram is nice. I'm liking my inlinepro cast mani it fits perfect and holds boost perfect and you can keep ac if wanted

Same here. But I got all the bolts bolted up. It still managed to break a stud last year racing. So you want all of em. More pics!
If its a b series manifold it should fit fine so that's weird
