i want to upgrade to an external wastegate so i can control boost better. currently, im using the HF manifold attached to a rhb5. ive come to the conclusion that i should switch out the HF manifold for a newer one with a hole for a external wastegate. ive been searching for awhile and i found this on ebay:

from the looks of it, it looks like cast iron. i dont care about the bling bling factor, so if it rusts, i dont mind. ive seen a lot of OBX manifolds too, but from searching through here, they are nothing but crap, so im staying away from them. i just want some opinions on if i should go through and purchase this product, which is strictly for performance and not for show. if anyone has any other alternatives to turbo manifold, plz let me know.

It's a DRAG/Turbonetics manifold or a copy.

For the price, you could go with a stainless steel log manifold. the manifold it for 3/t4 so it wont fit the turbo and you'll need a new downpipe

on the site, they say that it also fits T3's as well as T3/t4's. i asked the dude selling the item and he says that it should fit the rhb5's as well since they have the same adapter flanges. or is he wrong? i haven't the chance to compare the two turbos yet so anyone on here know if its true?

For that amount you could find a much nice manifold. I just picked up the spoolin performance manifold. It looks and should perform much better than that one.
