exh manifold swap help please

[igotasweetride]

my manifold cracked, so i got an EVO manifold. i just pulled the stock one and now i have questions.

1. do i need to retain the ring that goes between the turbo and manifold?

2. can i port the turbo to make them match up? how? any pics?

3. anything else i can port while im in there? i have an EVO o2 housing on the way, so thats one thing i dont have to touch.

4. there are two hairline cracks on the inside of the turbo, they dont go through the housing, just on the inside. is this ok?

thanks
bryan

1. No
2. Yes, somewhere.
3. The whole manifold and turbo.
4. It happens. You'll want to keep an eye on them. I had the same thing happen, but mine haven't grown. EVOIII Turbo is next on my list, anyway.
Hope this helps.
