Title: Gt Inlet manifold- braket
Post by: xrrich on November 19, 2010, 08:18:47 pm

Fitted this today just wondering if the braket at the back of the manfold to the block is necessary?
My Braket doesnt fit the GT, Was doing some research but could'nt find if they are necessary or if there is a different one for the GT's
Thanks
Rich

Nah should be fine without it if you mean the bar underneath the manifold. I've not got it on my car.

Maybe there to support the extra weight of the tb and boost pipes?
Still thought it fit though, did you undo the bolt at the bottom aswell, as to allow the bar to line up better with the top bolt hole?
