Re: cracked manifold?
Not only can it hurt spool times, but it can hurt power as well.
its hard to say, did you buy a mani thats cracked?
If its just a fracture/hairline crack, you may not notice any ill effects. But that crack will only continue to grow. Any pictures? If its small you can cut a grove down the crack, clean it up and re weld it.

Re: cracked manifold?
Just get the crack fixed...you never know what kinds of problems can occur due to it. If you had a piece of metal fall into your turbo thanks to the crack, you'd be pretty pissed. Post a pic if you can...

Re: cracked manifold?
its a cheap ebay manifold and the crack is very big on the #1 runner.
It is true what they say about these manifolds they crack all over the place.

Re: cracked manifold?

Re: cracked manifold?
A divided manifold will spool your divided housing turbo alot faster.

Re: cracked manifold?
I would think that you are aware that typically you get what you pay for, with that being said a cheap manifold that is made with cheap metal's welded and/or casted by cheap labor and sold for a cheap price is going to break long before a manifold made by decent materials welded and/or casted by a skilled fabricator that costs what a good product typically costs would (whew ), especially if it has that very heavy turbo you have in your signature hanging off of it...... I would hope that someone with a setup like yours would already know the answer to your question.

Re: cracked manifold?
not the best comparison, but on my s372r turbo, i went from a single opening top mount to a divided topmount and gained almost 1000rpm in spool time and gained power across the board. I imagine you'll gain even more.
