Ooh I'm liking this.

Be interested to see how you get on with it all.

Mathew (trackslag) needed a mk1 to make a k04 downpipe for his range of downpipes. so i agreed he could take my car and use it for template. fair play to him traveled from newcastle today and i had to quickly fit the rentless manifold and turbo . took me 9hr to fit the manifold alone. hands cuts and battered never again i advise any 1 doing a rentless manifold to take the head of. two bolts i just couldnt get a spanner in there . hope to have it back weekend with its new downpipe.

i brought this

loads left after cutting it. use the rest on heater matrix pipes. also as you going to run rentless manifold you want a heat shield just behind the rocker cover gasket and coil packs so it dont burn it. there are 2 bolt holes in the head where you can fix it to. i be doping my weekend so i post pitures

you want turbo studs instead of bolt easya to fit manifold to turbo as 2 u wont get 2. you need 3 studs part number
n90767801 58p each
and cooper nuts
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380507393822?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and get some m10 nordlock washers aswell to keep it tight

NO I meant which bolts are you using for turbo to manifold mate. There's 3 holes. One has slight cut out to get to, the other is easy and the 3rd one is a right pain. Which bolts did you use for them?

didnt use bolts used
studs the same as where the downpipe attched to.. you wind them into turbo using the 2 nut method so they are tight and then slide turbo up into manfoild and then use the cooper nuts i take a pitcure of my trm
not my pitures but same as used by me

Ah I'm with you. Is it secure like that? I'm guessing you didn't use bolts due to access issues.?

I told you we don't need bolts and that the k04 is stud mounted………….
