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.

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.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Cant you get a block-off plate for those maniolds if it is indeed internally gated?
