ok well finally got a manifold, (This one) and dont know what the wg flange is for. it looks like hks standard, but when i looked @ the racing it looked the same in pictures.....

so anyone got a clue b/c i dont,

or should i say the hell with it and cut their flange off and weld on one for a tial (my first choice was a tial wg)

but if its easier and hks wg's should be fine for my expectations of the car should i go with the hks?



thanks guys

quality is ******* incredible...beautiful welds (im a welder and my pops has been a union welder for 28 years)

few small mistakes but construction is sound...im gonna smooth out the insides a bit more, but im ****-retentive and need somethig to do...i didnt test fit it b/c i just had enough time to look at it good then run out the door...

ill do that on sunday at the latest ( i live @ school and home where the fd is is 1.5hrs away)



ohh vosko i was gonna go tial, but i figure hks racing is just as good for what im gonna need, im asking b/c if its the standard im cutin it off and puttin a tial 46mm on it...
