Will a 2.0L Protege exhaust manifold fit the MSP? I have a crack on my exhaust manifold and I'm thinking of just getting a 2.0L one. Either that or using thermosteel to patch it back up.
pope is a direct drop in replacement for oe. if you were to get the downpipe to match it, you would need a thermostat spacer, but i think he includes it with the DP. but then you need a different exhaust too. you could just buy the manifold and drop it in, never think about it again.
also a good chance to replace waste gate actuator and any gaskets to the turbo.
