Re: Killed the 240
exit, stage right even.
it happens with SS manifold from time to time. not just on SSAC stuff, ive personally had it happen to $ manifolds too. check you turbo to make sure no metal debris entered and bent/destroyed the fins(shouldnt have, but its always safe to double check)
you should really try to fab up some bracing since i dont see any there, thats a lotta weight resting on a manifold.

Re: Killed the 240
no why do you think they get rid of those bitches after 30,000 miles? because theyd have to seriously do some work to pass emissions

Re: Killed the 240
That's usually because they rate their octane differently, so basically they have a higher octane gas than us.

Re: Killed the 240
They get rid of them because having older vehicles are taxed heavily compared to newer ones (see here). It doesn't make sense to keep an older car around unless you really love it or have money. Would you keep an S13 if getting a S15 would cost you about the same?

Re: Killed the 240
Anyone up for fabbing up some braces for the turbo setup? I'm going to go see if I can't get my hands on some exhaust wrap and look into getting a turbo blanket.
