Man U FTW
There was a thread floating around a little while back about this same manifold. The general concensus was that all in all, its a good manifold and worth the money.

yeah a good looking manifold that breaks in no time is a lot better than a proven solid cast manifold that will last along time i forgot .

obx top mount sucks. They make good power, but anyone i've known with one has had them crack in multiple places.

Marcus had one with the same spot always cracking. But i blaim that on the guy he had weld a extention elbow to relocate the WG. He over heated the material and now the steel has lost all of its quality through out that area, hince the reason why it continues to crack. Ive asked him to bring it by, I may have a few remidys to help him out.
Other than that, lol Im sure they still suck and will crack over time.

Do you have an exhaust? A lot of stress comes from an attached exhaust system.
The only Manifold that ive had crack on me, was the pipe its self , not weld. after 2 years on a bad tune, shot mounts, no flex or supprt for the turbo/exhaust. (Buddy Club N1) and this guy cracked his OEM manifold before boost too.

I believe at this point it is cracking in spots all over the manifold including the runners. Sokum's also cracked as well. I told him to just get a new manifold altogether. It does seem to make good power though thats for sure.

Thats expected. I just thought the only issue was where the WG was altered on marcus' manifold.
Yup, itll make power, im sure but what good is it if your always repairing it?
They should switch to a larger AR turbine on a T4 inline mani. Im pretty sure power will stay similar but reliability will increase, a price worth paying if you ask me.
