Well personally I told the owner of the car the same thing (he needed  
a better EM), but he called Javad himself and Javad is exactly who  
advised the cars owner to keep the stock manifold. The whole ordeal  
left me kind of dissapointed with 034. The oil and coolant lines did  
not fit well at all, one of them leaked profusely at 034's crimped  
connection, the coolant return line that fits to the hose nipple in  
the block was the wrong size and leaked, the harware supplied was  
incorrect, and some other little things.

To say a new EM is *REQUIRED* with the GT2871 is incorrect thought.  
Highly recomended would be a better way to put it IMHO.
