Exhaust Manifold Crapped, Need HELP badly
OK, I have driven the car only about 7 times since I got the turbo kit on and its been running really low boost. I've just been waiting for MSD BTM to come so I can get it tuned. I've noticed each time that the drag manifold was getting whiter and whiter as I drove it. Well I just put in my MSD BTM today and was planning on calling a shop up and getting it tuned when I noticed a crack down the middle of the manifold!!! Is the thing hella overheating or what? It feels pretty hot when I open the hood, but I'm not sure if its normal. The thing is really white now and even the turbo is now turning white. What the hell happened?? I barely drove the thing. Am I running really rich and its causing it to combust in the manifold?? Can running to lean cause it also ?
My vafc correction from 1000rpm to 3000rpm is about -37 and my fuel pressure is
35 at idle. Can anyone give me some advice with my vafc numbers(my setup is in my signature) so my whole engine compartment doesnt melt?? Sorry, I wish I had pictures. Also what should I do with the manifold? Any suggestions on a new one and where to get it(Im thinking inline pro)?
Thanks for the help.

My manifolds are lifetime warranty, schedule 40 304 stainless steel. Hit me up on AIM, Lovefabrikations, or IM me on here...

F*ck, ok I set the vafc on the low throttle to
-48 and the car still runs ok. I had it previously on like -36, does that mean I was running hella rich??? I drove the car a short distance today again and now pretty much all the black paint is chipping off and burnt up. Even the black turbo is almost all white! Someone please help, I can't get this thing tuned because I have a cracked manifold.
