replacing my exhaust mani

[Absinthminded]

Can anybody point in the right direction for a guide on changing my cracked exhaust manifold? I have a Evo3 manifold with the egt tapped. I also ordered SS manifold studs from Jeff. Do I need to replace my turbo studs? If so where can I but them? Thank you. Darrell

www.vfaq.com Then after going to this site, look for exhaust up top. Under that section they have a pretty good write up on replacing your exhaust manifold. It's pretty easy.

Acutally, your car has three bolts going from the manifold to the turbo and one stud. This stud is the main PITA and you should remove it if possible. I pulled my turbo apart for an inspetion and just heated the area around the stud with a propane torch and used some vice grips to work it out. I replaced it with a bolt from Slowboy Racing. It's not really necessary that you replace it, but after messing around with it and realizing that the next time you want to pull your turbo it's just four bolts, it's a little easier to justify.
