brace that bitch and you should be fine.
don't be a dumbass with those manifolds and you wont break it. i'm going to get an ssauto manifold when i finally get off my *** and finish my vitara piston'd d16 turbo motor.

Re: (originalsin)
the "bracing" on the manifold wont keep it from cracking
you need to brace the turbo to the block; so that the brace is holding a lot of the weight of the turbo not the manifold.
that is what cracks them is the mani having to hold up the turbo

yea, cut off those bullshit braces that come with the mani and ust run a brace from the block to the turbo. if you dont have ac, you can fab up a ss bracket that runs from the mount hole to the turbo.

Keep the brace that it comes with. Who cares about everything else!
Most important, make sure you get a nice flex pipe for your exhaust, to reduce the flex! If you dont, prepare yourself for cracks, somewhere....

thumbs up....
Been running it for 6+ months and still going strong. Local guys here, ran without no bracing or mounts (the old non brace version) ....Been 1+ years, and still looks good as new.

Re: (synik)
^^^ do not keep the brace that comes with it, wrong, bad.
SS expands and contracts alot with heat. the brace that comes with it prevents it from doing so. that will lead to stress on the welds. remove them. by bracing the mani to itself you dont allow the mani to expand and contract with temperature differences. it will cause it to crack quicker.
but a flex pipe is a must.
