2nd gen manifold swap
 

Hey every one, I'm getting ready to do a manifold swap on my 2004.5 and I'm just looking for some help so I don't get half way threw it and realize I don't have something or didn't do something right. I've read several write ups but they all use different turbos. I'm using the stock turbo and I'm going to order an hx40 down pipe with the he451 flange. Is that all I need? From what I read I have to cut the intercooler pipe several inches but do I need another boot to connect it? Lastly what would be a good setup for a airfilter? Thanks in advance everyone!

Parts I need?
2nd gen manifold
Down pipe
Longer oil return line
Silicone tubing (for air filter)

Umm....intercooler pipe will need to be longer. The 2nd gen manifold moves the turbo closer to the firewall.

I think you need to do a lil more reading.
