I'm considering one of the items below to at least form the pattern to work from. I may have to "cut & paste" to move the turbo location or angle, and these manifolds are made in 301 stainless, which may not be up to the task. My question is this - are the exhaust ports / bolt pattern for the 2nd and 3rd gen engines identical? Up to now I've been using a 2nd gen turbo and manifold and it fits fine, so I think they must be. Anyone have a suggestion for a good source for the manifold I need? Happy new year, everyone.
