im about to post up some pics of my headliner and of my intake that i "made"
used my NA injen intake, chopped it up a bit and used it, but im also making a bypass valve of sorts since the intake is really low in the engine bay to ensure i dont suck up water
i have to go buy some mesh from lowes and then ill post pics

Pretty sure you need to have the straight vs. stock 90 degree thermostat housing to have the clearance

it looks like your hotpipe hangs lower than mine so i guess i cant clock my turbo

nope, i used it from my stock stuff
the hole is only like 2" big but i opened it up a bit with dremel, i didnt want to not put a gasket in there

ok so today i installed the 626 manifold and man does it feel good to have a normal idle again
first impressions are the car def pulls harder, BUT still only boosts 6psi
so ive narrowed it down to either a boost leak at the turbo-hotpipe coupler OR
a wastegate problem
im checking both tomm when i do a few more things
*oil change-first one with synthetic oil, some will say its too early, but if the engines not broken in by now then i did something wrong
*Oil pan gasket-to finally fix that dam oil leak
*Oil Drain-New setup, pushlock -10AN fittings with silicon hose
*New coolant setup- -6AN to 1/4NPT, -6AN to Pushlock, hose to coolant fitting on turbo
*Paint turbo manifold with flameproof paint
*Put hotpipe on turbo before putting on the engine to ensure no leaks
then hopefully i should have some piece of mind for a while
Top off coolant and hope for no leaks
then take car to Advanced Auto to see what the CEL i have is, im thinking its the VICS/VTCS solenoids not having vacuum hooked up

hmmm, i was wondering how tht would work with this manifold but i couldnt find that anywhere
the sensors are still plugged in but they dont have any vac lines hooked up to them
i deleted the egr too when i was installing it i left the sensor plugged in but cut off the pipe and left like an inch so now it sucks in clean air
cut and welded the manifold section shut, was pretty easy
im thinking the code might be a random missfire, its wierd though cuz as soon as i started the engine the code came up..

Sounds like something is unplugged then; I've noticed every CEL I've ever got right on start up was something unplugged. All else took 20mi or so to pop up.
When u had the misfire problem, was it when u were in boost and it was like one of the plugs wasn't fire correctly all the sudden?
