hi all,

Spent 12 hours fitting a new ATP exhaust manifold over last weekend, and as i was staring into the turbo shortly after removing the old manifold i saw a crack!
this is not the best piccy in the world as it was with my phone but you can just make it out.

Hows the mani performing?

Very pleased with it, cetrainly has a more aggressive edge to the performance, engine sounds better too.
had a weird intermittent power loss thing earlier though, 300 miles since install so maybe just needs a checkover and tighten up also heard a loud pop from under the bonnet when briefly accellerating at low revs in 3rd, thought i had blown a hose but found nothing? very weird, bit scary too.

Need to plug it in and do an upload when i am next in the garage, i find it gets more Temperamental the more mods i stick on it.
