We used a second-generation (FC) manifold on Tim's GSL-SE, because it has a larger throttle body. Unfortunately, it left the EGR port in the center iron partially expose, so I had to devise a block off plate for it, since Tim didn't want to permanatly modify the engine by filling the port with epoxy.

Here you can see the problem. The rectangular port in the gasket is the EGR port. It creates a massive exhaust leak if left uncovered. |

A closer look. |
|
there was a handy almost-flat spot on the bottom of the manifold in the right spot. |
|
A little filing to make the area perpindicular to the gasket surface, a couple of drilled and tapped holes, and a bit of aluminum angle stock, and... |
|
...the hole is covered. |
|
A little closer. |
|
The bolts are lock-tited in, of course. |
