Just go my turbo kit install about 5 days ago. Running about 5pnd of boost last night as i was pulling into a gas station the external waste gate and the tube that's connected to the manifold came of i didn't hear an explosion but came of the welding. Would would cause this?

Cheap XS Mani?

Waste gate Fail?

Poor quality welds, that's what you get with that manifold

azandford

please do not weld that thing... if your on a budget just buy a cast log mani

yup, seen that happen a few times. As a few people have said before just go with something cast if you are on a budget, they will last forever and almost never crack. If not, i'm sure you can get your hands on an old drag/revhard or inlinepro manifold and call it a day

At least with that pic everybody can actually see how thin those manifolds are.

i had one of these manifolds for 2years
worked great for me but i ran open dp

Eli2

U got lucky it's either a hit or miss with those mani's

I also ran one of these manifolds on two of my vehicles worked great. A friend of mine wasn't so lucky and had this exact same thing happen to his.

Hahaha, that's the picture I took a few years back. That ruined a fresh TiAl 38mm WG and a B16's oil pan, not to mention ruining the owner's entire MONTH.

Trust me, their qualtity has NOT improved, and their "stainless" is still just as paper-thin. There's a recent post on R-HMT that shows another "new" CDM manifold where the WG ripped off too.
