MD321H - What Headers?
Hi,
What headers do you recommend? I bought a set of gt spec headers but have discovered that they have a small leak around the flanges that mount to the block! I am looking into replacement tubular headers as i need to replace them before i have the map tweaked. Thanks Haroon |
GT spec 2 headers

Funny I got told that that never happens...
I ought to laugh, but won't. I got three bolt version, all come from the same place so shop around for the best price. HTH dunx |

TBH it could have been my own fault as i didn't fit the brackets that hold the turbo to the block, i thought it wouldn't put any strain on the headers as the up-pipe is bolted to the bracket!

Don't laugh, I didn't quite remove enough metal from the bellhousing on mine so it stressed everything, causing a leak.
Then I shed a bolt from the up-pipe god only knows how as I torqued the bugger up ! Then a week after fitting I noticed it "chuffing" from the nearside cylinder head. Took it all off and re-fitted. GRRRRRR ! Have to say that (pre-mapping) the spool and "kick" are awesome ! BIG RESPECT TO LATERAL FOR THE MD321H I HAVE TO SAY ! :notworthy I can't wait to get my clutch in and map done now ! LOL dunx |
Im still using the Standard, but Ported headers. still works very well.

I don't know what the brackets look like!
Did any of you guys fit the brackets that hold the turbo? I know what you mean about not removing too much metal from the bell housing! I removed a little, fitted the turbo to up-pipe then thought maybe i should remove more just incase. There is enough clearence between the turbo and bell housing now. I think the headers were a bad fit to start with as i couldn't bolt the up-pipe to its bracket without using a clamp to bring it inline with the bracket. It was an inch out! It is an awesome turbo, spools very early and hits hard :norty: |
