I assumed it was a downpipe by the picture And as far as me questioing the "exhaust pressure" maybe post #62 should ring a bell. Oh, and I do have x-ray vision, that's why my wallet says "bad-ass mother fucker" on it.

And be sure to let me know when you fix it. I am curious to see if it'll correct your boost problem.
I must have mis-read your post #61... I thought you were asking what that car used to read manifold pressure... to which the reply is "the MAP sensor".

I've got a new up-pipe on order, I should get it around Monday or Tuesday... same time I should get the new timing covers. I went with the Bosal up-pipe. It's a flex pipe, but it's also got head shields on it like the stock unit. That should help a little with the underhood temps... but probably just a little.
