I am about to install the turbo to my ERA. Checking everything over I came to the exhaust manifold. The centre pipe flange sits slightly out of line with the outer pipes, so when offered up to the head the outer pipe flanges sit on the head the centre one is stood off by 25thou. The surface of the centre flange is also a little pitted. The surface the turbo bolts to is also a bit rough.

The centre one always recedes. You can get them flatted off. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I had mine done on a surface grinder. If you do get the exhaust to exhaust housing faces done aswell.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

It was £40 that was both head side and turbo side.

The studs into the manifold are M10.
