Looks like someone stuck the wastegate on with JB weld... Yuck.

Notice the "Si".... it's actually for an EX motor <D16> he's in Canada.

I hope you're being sarcastic... aside from the extensive rust it looks like that wastegate flange was JB-Welded onto the manifold. Yeah it's tubular but that's no excuse.

For comparison I bought an equally crappy manifold with a T3/4 and deltagate for $450; the only thing he's throwing in is a cheap used boost gauge and a FMU of questionable origin - oh and a downpipe which is a bit of an advantage. It seems like an "OK" way to start a turbo kit but you WILL end up replacing that turbo and manifold, and probably the FMU, and who knows where the sell price will end up.

Wow, that's hideous. I'd be embarrased to open the hood with that manifold!

Maybe you can just get the downpipe....

well it probably looked good until it rusted over! Which is probably why he is selling it after how long? 6 months?? HAHA! Worst thing I have seen! My stock exhaust manifold after many many miles and years looks a lot better than that after 6 months.

I'm sorry for whoever gets it.. that looks like $h!t. You can even see oil residue in the turbo's inlet. Shotty work if you ask me. Too bad people dont understand what they're buying.
