Well you can take the chance of fitting it with out having the faces skimmed but i wouldn't I learnt the hard way matey.And , or possibly a FLAT work surface mate !!! :shock:
As was I, I didn't want to start an argument lol. It just makes sense to me to have any manifold form any & all supplier's skimmed to make sure it's flat. It's not like changing a turbo and manifold on a pulsar is a five minute job lol.Just offering constructive criticism.
I'm afraid your manifold won't work for me as I'm moving my turbo..
