Re: Turbo Exhaust Manifolds Interchangeable

It's bull-puckey...

The wastegate on a 'B' motor is completely different than on an 'H' 
motor. it's part of the manifold.

You *could* update the whole thing to the 'H' type setup. This would 
require Manifold, 'H' motor turbo (EARLY non-APC style) with 
wastegate assembly, and the front exhaust down pipe. The wastegate 
will then operate off of inlet pressure, rather than the exhaust 
pressure.

Most, if not all, of the older turbo manifolds are cracked or will 
crack. My advice, is to hunt around for a shop willing to weld the 
cast iron manifold. Once you found one, go to the boneyard and find 
the best one you can, maybe two if they're cheap enough, and give 
THOSE to the welder. Then, when he finishes one, you can put that one 
on.
