no zack, it just magically appeared. the AEB is good, it uses the same engine mounts as the aba and has the large port intake manifold. also external waterpump i think

Mike id be careful with that mani you want, just talkin from expierance. There are some decent manifolds on ebay for cheap that bolt to a t3 flange but that looks very fimilar to a ss autochrome manifold... there is a guy selling cast ones, id have to find the link but there atp knock offs but i think there pretty decent. btw scrapin is the shit! haha

ss autochrome is a big gamble... id shy away from it unless you wanna pull the mani alot to weld it.
Edit: check this out, ive heard decent things about these.

i bought a mani on fri.. not a ssauto chrome.. but same style.. if it cracks or the weld start failing then i am going to get a casted mani but until then $90 shipping included works for me Cool

Sick guy... happy to see the choice on the uni file, there shit seems to be top notch. Hope that mani works out for you, one thing you can do to help the cracking issue is make a brace from the block to the turbo to help suport the weight. I did this even when i had a 1000 dollar manifold on my last car, tubular is just inherently more prone to cracking than cast.
