DC Sports turbo manifold any good?
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the DC Sports turbo manifold, or just an opinion on the design and construction. I'm mainly concerned about the strength/resistance to cracking. I found a good price on one, and I'm thinking of using it for my d-series T-3 turbo project. TIA

I used one on a customers car a while back. It cracked all the time and we eventually threw it in the trash after reqelding it about 8 times.

I didn't even know DC Sports made an turbo manifold, where do they sell those? I would just be interested in looking at it although Geoff gave it his highest recommendation

Everyone is right. They tend to crack. I have been using a hotshot turbo manfold for the past year and half and no cracks. I have been runign 1 bar of boost for the past 5 months and it still holds up. I bought the hotshot manifold for $325.

Yeah, take a look at the headers they pull out of their asses for N/A cars. They don't make any power, and since N/A is their "specialty" and this is the only product they make for turbos, ask yourself how good could they possibly be?
I'm prejudiced against DC Sports though, I think they are scammers!
