So like i said before i just recently picked up a turbo kit from my buddy and he claimed ti was a SOHC mani but it turned out to be DOHC WTF!
It was still a good buy for 200 (turbo, mani, intercooler,all da pipes and lines for it) but i dont think the mani will bolt up....... any suggestions of what i should do? is it a possiblitly to drill new holes in the mani or is that no possible? pleaseee help, this is the only thing left i need and then i can get goin on the install. Ill make sure to take lots of pics and do a write up once i get past this small problem

keep an eye out for one of the few adapters that are available used. iirc the 2.4 DOHC and the 2.0 DOHC have the same bolt pattern, so any one of the adapters should work.

or

buy a new manifold. you don't want to drill into cast iron, and it won't seal up well.

Or maybe if someone I know Would list all that was involved with swapping over to a DOHC head you could try that,

All that aside, like frank said you could try buying a new manifold.

Have someone make a custom tubular manifold for you. Log style. Its fairly cheap to make. Materials should not go for more than 100 bucks with another 50 to 60 for labor to weld it up.

thankks everyone ill be goin to a machine shop as soon as i get home
