You can see from the first pic that the head flange was put on a linisher to attempt to flatten it after it must have warped when being built. It was never completely flat as a result. I paid to have it milled flat which cost a fair bit on top of the purchase cost.

I hav heard about that manifold wrapping aint good, but so far so good after one summer of cruising. And full stainless steel manifold. Maybe its just too early to say, time will tell what happens. Wrap are not ordinary manifold wrap, its from welding spark cover/flame cover fabric. Im not sure how much heat does it isolate, but i know that it can take alot of heat .
There is not that much space on urS4 neither, but there it sits. Yea, the wastegate, dont ask, it is pain in the *** place, if you want to touch it.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

How does it look if you lay the straight edge flat across the flange, or lay the gasket on the flange? You want the ports to line up with the runners.
Mild steel moves easier than stainless so you should be able to bolt it up leak free.
Looks like you’ve got enough room for a good sized turbo too!

Straight edge showing that the flange isn’t perfectly straight.When I started tightening up the nuts it pulls it straight and closing up the gap .
It will need a little bit of porting as well .
