just to let all the people that have vmax kits

i took my carger off today . to do a gasket a few other bits

i have noticed that stewart when he has made the manifolds . that the face that bolts to the head he tigs that face . not the other side round each pipe . and of course you need to have a flat maniold so you are flatting the welds he has done


mine has started to crack and is seeping petrol so needs to be rewelded

just to let people know to look out for that if you have your chargers off



all the best

My boss has had this, and some more problems

[new_zealand _minis]

haha ..... also another note ... befor i welded the cracks up i put a stright edge on the charger manifold ...and holy hell ... its not even flat

so anyone that is getting a kit or has one . make sure the manifold is dead flat

could the heat have warped it? what boost are you running? any more than 12 and you are going to see some serious heat at what

[new_zealand _minis]

its just running the std pulley . so what even boost that is . 8 ish i guess ... i dont really think the wrap would have made it that bad .

are your manifolds stainless steel?

[Burt]

My boss wanted /paid for stainless, but said theirs was either low quality stainless or mild steel

[Nick Warwick]
