Yes, it is a SSautochrome manifold. I already know where you are going with that question. I read all the bad stuff about them, and still bought one. I am on a very low budget and it took four years to get the car this far. My thinking: First, get it boosted and running correctly. Second, put some hard miles on it and weed out the parts that don't hold up later. This kept me from parking it for a year to add a turbo. 1000 miles at 10 psi so far and no cracks, complaints, or losses.

It's funny I hear this so often, "I am on a very low budget". Well you are now going to spend not only the amount you did on the ssac but now about 550 for a better one. Owell, it looks really good, you did a great job

Waiting for those bumper shots as well... lol.

Also, i think you are going to kick yourself in the a$$ when you put the header panel back on, and then have to pop the radiator cap for any reason.


Not knockin ya, i've just been there-done that with the 1st gen, turbo, with a/c, and i know there is not going to be much fitting in that setup youve got without a ton of cutting and trimming of the bumper.

Try to make it clean and nice, eh? The 1st Gens need more respect

The 20 year old mugen/mooncraft kit that I have (and currently restoring) fits perfect over everthing. I don't need to ge to the radiator cap on the radiator itself, I used a inline radiator cap like a newer dodge pickup where the cap and housing is in the upper hose.
