Exhaust Manifold

[newboost]

I had to take off the blown turbo this week and broke a stud in the manifold. I have taken off the manifold and taken it to an engine builder to get it taken out. But he tried with no luck. It is not coming out no matter what he tries. The question now is what can I do. Do I replace the manifold with either a second hand std manifold or go for a other type one using stainless. i am not trying to get a mad powered car. Just makes sense that while it is all apart just to do it all at once. mods to the car so far are a fmic,splitfire coils,full zorst (xforce),microtech lt12,eboost 2 boost controller. (auto trans). I now that the auto is good for around 220 rwkw. I was already on planning to get the auto adjusted to accomodate the extra power.

Before the turbo blew the turbo blew it was making 187 rwkw on 10 psi.

any help would be very helpful in this

well you'll need a bigger turbo for 220rwkw

either way, you should just be able to drill/tap it and get it out.

Its how you get a broken stud out of the head...

I was in a similar boat recently - drill and easy outs the best way.. UNLESS if the bolts stainless steel - then good luck.. lol.

Another way is to weld a bolt onto where its broken off and open that with the double nut method.
