Changing manifolds cracked 1g to evo 9

[frankenstein406]

My buddys selling me his evo9 pump and mani for $70, but I'm worried about breaking a stud so is it ok to cut the nuts in half and buy new ones? Then run a thread fixer over them? Also will I need a new exhaust gasket for it? Trying to do all the maintence I can find before spring. Thanks everyone!

The evo 9 manifold will not work, it is designed for a twin scroll housing.

Shit so I need the 8?

I hope he's charging you $70 for the pump and throwing in the manifold for free, because that manifold will never work on your car. It'll bolt to the head, but nothing else.

Try lower....like 3.

Nope, you need an evo3 manifold if you want an evo manifold. Also I would just ignore your studs unless they break.

The evo9 pump is a good choice but it isn't entirely safe without an AFPR. Mine overruns my stock regulator. Avoid evo8 fuel pumps because they have a pressure relief valve that makes them minimally useful if you run your turbo over about 20psi.

The only "Evo" manifold that will work on the DSM head with a DSM turbo as a "bolt-on", is the Evo3.

Thanks guys, Bought the pump for $10 so looks like its time for 2gmani hunting.
