GBP275 Manifold + GBP90 courier 5 day freight to Hong Kong.
Excellent.
That means it will arrive next week.

Asked him, and he confirmed the holes are good now. I feel less worry. Thanks jason for the reminder.

Hi Simon the holes are now perfect and I have also matched the ports  
perfectly to a spesso gasket. Like I said these are a much better  
manifold. Paul

Simon,

After you received the manifold, check the aligment of the holes to match with the head and turbo. The one that I installed, it needs to drill out 2 hole to match the head and one hole to match the turbo housing. If you cannot do it yourself, it needs to go to a machine shop for the potting. Hope the one you receive is his second batch and with a better spec.

不過好似好難包硼帶.

有實物.

Thanks Rikki.

Only if your existing 20vt cast iron exhaust manifold has cracked between no. 4 & 5, otherwise there is no need to change.  On the other hand, this16vt aftermarket design is an equal length one, so it will benefit the air flow to the turbine.

無所謂係咪大陸野啦, 我而家都好接受, 佢運去英國地址都係十磅, ok喎.
20v turbo無升級, 只係更換型.
有ceramic coating加, 不過無報價, 未知幾貴, 我仍然打算加硼帶.

So pointless for me to get it then?

Ceramic coating is very expensive, as it needs specialised equipment for spraying the ceramic material, I doubt it any HK base garage nor modification shop has this type of industrial strength equipment.
