I hope so, I just placed an order for them. I tell ya, this kit is starting to nickel and dime me to death. I have spent right at $100 in bolts for this thing.

And there isnt enough material to drill enough holes thru the stud. The stud is only like 6mm thickThe design of the mani was good in theroy, but they should have realized how hard it is to put the housing bolts on with the first prototype and changed the postion they have the turbo clocked at.

Ok, new studs, new lock washers, new Maryland metric lock washers onto of the nuts on the 2 that keep coming loose with locking nuts ontop of that.
My next step if it comes loose again is to weld the mother f***er, or switch to V-band.
For anyone with the balance shafts removed, large cams, and solid mounts, this kit isnt for you. Go with V-band from the get go.

Update.
This has been the longest it has stayed on. Well untill last nite when it completely came off the car. The only thing holding it is the tie bars under the car holding the down pipe, and the studs i put in the turbine housing. I can stick my finger between the turbine housing and o2 housing.
My solution this time is a drastic one. I refuse to fix this thing again. I am welding it. I am done messing with it. I advise anyone else that is planing on runing solid mounts and removed the balance shafts, DO NOT GET THIS HOUSING.
