Removing the intake manifold?

[Poodle]

Keeping the car off the road as little as possible, but removing the manifolds... Hmm lol. The manifolds on these are a right bastard to get out with the engine in place, probably a days worth of work if you're not used to the spannering. Where the ports face the bulkhead you're going to struggle to get in there to clean them too, in all honesty i think you'll make life a lot easier if you just pull the engine out, can fit your stage 2 clutch at the same time.

If you're keeping the standard turbo i'd leave the wg feed where it is, otherwise you'll get a delayed response time and probably boost spikes as a result.
