DM manifold. It actually warped on the flange. I bought it used. I dont know if it warped from too much heat wrap or not enough or just age. I got it fixed and it is starting to leak again around the gasket. That will be fixed today. I hope it not warped too much and actually have to pull it off again. What a pain. Wanted to let you know how it is holding up. The wastegate is in a great place, which allows zero modifications to the dp for clearance. I have the dump tube routed back into the exhaust.

Is it the drift motion modified one or just the reg manifold they offer?

As far as I know it is the regular one. There should be plenty of pictures on this thread to determine which one it is for sure. I bought it from another member on here. He doesn't get on here very much due to his schedule.

Just a bump. Car has been running good w/o further issues. I hope this thread has continued to help other members figure things out. I know there are so many out there.

Next upgrade is a new catch can setup. I have yet again blown out the rear main. The conclusion is leading me to believe an incorrect catch can setup. I will be doing this catch can provided in the link below, then followed with a -10 vacuum on the intake side of the turbo after the filter. Thank you 97- SC300 for the link. I will have my current setup for sale if anyone needs it on the cheap side. It is a Morosso catch can with (2) -10 AN fittings to a wye.

My car has been running great, no real issues.

Stay tuned.

Hey man,, just went through your whole thread. What a journey. If you haven't already checked my build, do so. You are getting the same catch can I have. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Thanks Andrew. I actually went through your thread several times. I even commented on it. Your car so sick man. I might be ordering this very soon.

Has this catch can been reliable in your opinion? Worth the money?

Thanks man, I do remember you commenting on my thread.

Worth the money for sure. You can't find a cheaper custom catch can than this. The drain line is flimsy. It has popped off on me a few times. But other than that, it works.

Thank you man. I saw the drain line on the website. It did look and appear quite flimsy. I wonder if there is something we can modify to correct it. Where did you run the intake part? Size -10 also? Can. You post up some pictures on here?

Thanks for the fast response, Andrew.
