they fit but the construction is ok but they need bracing as under heat they have been known to crack but overall they are a cheap budget manifold and i think they saying is "you get what you pay For LOL

the manifold on ebay will work just fine as long as you brace the turbo from above.
you need to rotate the oil filter housing as well.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

ive put the advert on the for sale section of the turbo kit and ecu, and a nitrous kit on another add, with some pics, think you can look thru all my photobucket aswell and see the other pics of the bits in the kit.
