i got it on ebay, please dont laugh.
• T3/T4 STAINLESS TURBO MANIFOLD
• Custom-made Equal Length Tubular Stainless Steel Turbo Manifold
• BRAND NEW DESIGN NEW RELEASE
• 100% GUARANTEE AGAINST CRACKING / DEFECTS
• NO BOOST CREEP - NEW WASTEGATE DESIGNED FLANGE
• EXTRA WELDS OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE PORTS
• PORTED AND POLISHED / PORTS AND PRIMARIES
• 304 STAINLESS CONSTRUCTED
• Fits any D SERIES MOTOR
• This manifold was custom-made.
• This manifold is for Hybrid T3/T4 OR any T3 Flanged Turbo - 35 or 38 MM Wastegate Flange
• The manifold is made out of SUS304 Hi-Grade Stainless to help disperse heat. This manifold is drag-race quality, and similarly design manifolds can be found on professional drag cars.
• And since this manifold is tubular steel, it flows better than cheap cast iron and is less prone to cracking.

that stock 3sgte is not ANYWHERE near as big as that t3/t4.

also, that manifold will crack. And that toyota turbo won't bolt on that manifold.

it's a cheap ebay manifold. apparently you haven't looked at the FAQ section yet.

I suggest you do.

doubtful.

Most ebay stuff uses thinner walled steel...**** just cracks.

It is neat to watch flames shoot out when it does it on the dyno though...wouldn't exactly recommend that though.

just because it's an "Ebay" manifold it will crack? i've seen plenty of "ebay" manifolds hold strong for years, and some crack within months. there are Pros and Cons to everything.

You really should probably do some research, no offense but you jumped in the water way to quick. No heat treating will not work.
