Found a dirt cheap 626 manifold

[SilversunMSP]

My wife actually talked me into going "junking" today because she said I seemed stressed out. So we dropped off my son at the in-laws and headed to the local salvage yard/recycler. They just happened to have three 626's lined up in a row. Since this is a Pull-it-Yourself kind of place I busted out the tools while my wife started searching the forum from her cell phone. Sure enough I found a 626 intake manifold without the VTCS for $22.00!!!!!! It's like winning the lottery I tell you. I even called Ken at PG to see it this was the right one and he was kind enough to text me be ASAP. Here's some other useful info based on the cars we looked at:

The 2001 626 2.0L HAS THE VTCS

2000 626 2.0L DOES NOT HAVE VTCS - the casting is completely different and does not have a location for the actuator and butterfly valves. THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT

The 1999 and older 626 HAS THE VTCS
