Yep fitting a cf3 manifold and then a remappedKegsti66 wrote:Lots of talk about that on AO.
Don't chuck the manifold out as a popular trick is to "de-flap" it and re-map the JTDm engine .
I am sure you are already aware of this Chris.

Re: Been side tracked...........Alfa gt jtdm
Collected the black leather then fitted it.
Removed the cylinder head from the old engine to see the damage. Free'd off 2 of the seized injectors in the replacement engine but had to get the grinder to the 3rd one so I could remove cams then the cylinder head
Fitted the mtech quickshift
