Manifold question
« on: March 13, 2007, 03:58:12 am »
Does the piece (circled) rotate 180 degrees so it is easier for me to mount intercooler piping to it?



i couldnt remember if it does but i just wanted to get a confirmation, and if you have any pointers on taking it off that would be greatly appreciated.

@Andrew: I've been turning them on 1.6/1.9 engines and both had no problems on clearance after rotating. Can be that I missed something.

@Andrew: Can be that they are different. I can't recall that I had the extra material on the side. Thought we had only the elbow.

Will it not break the oil line???
The oil line goes right thru the middle of the inlet....I would have to bend it quite a bit!!!
cheers, Michal
