          The 666 fab manifold adapters are common, the e-bay ones seems to do better if the mounting plate is split between the front 3 cylinders and the rear 3, to allow for thermal expansion.

          I have a 666 fab manifold and HX35 that I'd be willing to part with. the manifold has been modified to maintain the split-pulse feature of the HX35 and to allow for a 38mm external wastegate and a v-band exhaust flange on the turbo.
          PM me if you're interested, I can send you pics.
