[urq] 2-piece manifold[Ebay 220094945974 - was it really rare?]

[Ben Swann]

The 2-Piece manifold fits fine on the UrQ with no clearance issues or
additional work required.  It is necessary to install turbo and DP at the same
time due to close fitment.  The downpipe just clears the clamp that holds the
two sections together, and you have trouble getting the DP in from top or
bottom when the turbo is bolted up.  I had a problem using a 3" downpipe.  In
that case the clamp barely cleared and was rubbing.  The downpipe was also
rubbing against the frame, so I reverted to the UrQ DP which should flow fine
anyway.

... I got the brand new, uninstalled example sitting in my garage because
someone with an urq had a cracked EM and ordered the 2 piece kit as a
replacement.  There was interference somewhere, so he returned the parts to
Carlsen for a replacement.  This was done in the days when Linda and Didi were
the folks you talked to at Carlsen ... 

 

So, there's little doubt the 2-piece will fit in an urq, but be prepared to do
some clearancing work ... 

 

AFAIK there were very few if any 5kT/200 cars that came stock with the 2-piece
EM ... it was a replacement part.
