I hope you are getting the engine sorted out. After chatting with you on the phone I am still stumped on what you should try next.

I love that color! That wagon looks terrific. Makes me want an old skoolie car again!

You will probably have to make one out of some silicone hose couplers and aluminum pipe parts. The old turbo inlets are getting very hard to find in decent condition so fabbing your own is going to be the quickest and maybe cheapest option.

Just use '05 mls sti headgaskets. Works great with the ej22 heads on a ej25 block. No complaints from any of these I have done.

I have always used aircraft paint stripper. It is safe on aluminum where as alot of them you can't be too sure.

I like your new project car! Let me know if you are ever looking for parts I may be able to help.

(Insert baked alaskan joke here) Glad you are good. Things happen when least expected. The progress looks great.

Sounds really cool. Care to share some pictures?

Looks good guys. However, don't forget to leave the intake ports a tad on the rough side to aid volumetric efficiency.

Good work man! I like your attention to detail with your body work. All your hard work will pay off for sure.

Very interesting to hear peoples ideas. I will do a little more research and then find out what seems to work.

Thanks for posting that. It is very interesting. I have one of those intake manifolds with the water cross over pipe being integrated into the manifold itself.

Was it dragging or something? Just wondered if there was a tell tale hot mark?

Sweet dude! I will have to come by and see.

Steelies are by far the lightest of all. Especially with years of rust to flake off.
