mazdaspeed777 said:My poor engine is took apart. I ported my intake manifold with a VTCS removal and installed a thermal spacer. I also just installed some OBX headers and I am having a b**** of a time getting the intake manifold back on. If I first connect the EGR tube to the headers then try and install the intake manifold it wont go on, and when I install the intake manifold first then try and connect the EGR tube to the headers it won't reach! Anyone have any ideas.
Mount the intake mani and OBX with a few bolts just barely threaded in, line up/thread the EGR fittings and then snug the header and intake mani down. Go back and tighten everything to spec.
