Cast iron will almost never break... ever.
Tubulars (from my experience) are known to crack and break.
Remember, most to any turbo setup produces a large amount of heat.

Have you considered heat wrap? Thats a path you can take if heat is an issue.

Yes, it helps keep the heat level down to a minimum. The advantage with cast Iron manifolds is that they are literally indestructable, no matter how rusty or hot they get. If you swap out to a tubular, you will have issues down the road with cracking and breaking. Heat wrapping your current manifold would be a wise choice.

Those manifolds will not work with his greddy turbo if he's using the internal wastegate.

He can heat wrap or coat the manifold (did you not want to use the "shield" that came with the kit? It works wonders for dissapating heat.
