it's not hard mate, the type-3 will be even easier than the type 1, remove front bumper, put caron jack stand (front) have only 1/4 tank fuel left, you're set

don't have to lift the engine and crap cus your turbo is front mounted

the reason why many believed that he actually blew his motor at idle was because he acts just dumb enough to pull that off

Wow ...nice thread bump .

That is a manifold made by the now defunct Mazsport . It isn't available anymore but the guy that made/sold it is still selling turbo kits under the name RX8performance.
