do u often hear like TICKING from the engine when pushing the gas? i noticed it most when i was next to other cars.. and my engine noise reflected back at me.

WELL. apparently CAUSE SF's manifold is a FLAT plate and doesnt look like the OEM one where it connects to the block it causes leaks. well MINE DOES. the oem header gaskets keep blowing and causing boost leaks before the turbo. SO. i found this and it works great. no leaks no noise. perfect.
just wanted to FYI about this gasket cause the oem one sucks.

then again u could just buy some Mr gasket and make ur own.. but this ones supposed to be better.

I had it before I even installed the boost controller. Now I can just adjust it not to go over 6. That sucks though...I want more.
