ya i do need some practice with the mig... i don't know what it is about mig im just not good at it...more of a smaw guy. but thanks for the feedback though...everything is so tight back there because of the choice of manifold... the manifold was on treadstone performance on sale for $150 shipped... the only bad thing about this manifold is that whoever made it didn't consider anything other than putting a t3 flange and a tial flange on it... most other manifolds for the car have the intake on the other side but we could not get it to work so it went on this way... btw the bov doesn't go off until it sees full boost for the most part... anyone have any idea why?
