End up replacing exhaust manifold. It's ceramic coated. This was no fun :-(

Thank you,yes my coater is amazing.

Took me about 5 hours Goce to replace it,believe it or not nothing else was removed to get it out,just the water pipe that's mounted on valve cover. I took it out upwards,there was just enough of space between bulk head and valve cover to sneak it out of there.

I've got matching spare tire today and it's fits just fine in original location.

I end up getting ECU connectors and pins to relocate ECU at GTI6 battery box. As I mentioned before I really like GTI6 set up,I can't wait to start on this.

I finally started to work on this today and it's going better then expected.

ECU fits great and I'll have it secured later on as this is all just pre fit test. I mounted injector resistor pack on side of battery box and it's out of view (when battery box is installed)

I already removed old ECU box and wire harness,picture is just a reference of clutter in that area.
