Jake, they are holding up just fine. I have about 3,000 miles on it now and no problems that I can tell. I want to get a gauge on the hot side to measure back pressure and also get a gauge on the pre-intercooler side to measure pressure drop

Damn, that manifold is pretty tight to the head. Tighter then I thought it would be. I think I know what Spoolin is talking about. I remember seeing pictures on here of someone that made new, or reused the coil brackets and had them mounted just above the oil pan on each side.

That will work for a little while but not for long. I had the lava heat wraps on my wires and they still burnt up real quick. I had my stock coil pack mount ziptied to the motor mount and just used stock wires and ran them up the the plugs. Got the harness extension from Nelson.

Well my plug wires burnt up!! I had 2 layers wrap on the manifolds and 3 on the wires! It'd work just fine if the wires weren't actually touching the manifolds but I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet on the high dollar custom MSD's!!
