I've got the engine out and the NF ready to go in, and I would like to know
if anyone has suggestions on which manifold/downpipe to use.
I know the 5-3-1 of the 4kq is better than the 5-2-1 of the coupe, but what
about the 5-2-1 of an 88 90q?
The 2 of the 5-2-1 that I have is substantially larger than the 3 of the
4kq, but size isn't everything (at least that is what they tell me).
 Will this manifold/downpipe fit in the 4kq, I suspect so.
 I also know that many would suggest just changing the manifold to one that
a turbo will bolt to, but I will stick to NA for this car.  More mods to the
urQ later.
  Any sugestions appreciated.
