What exactly is ment by "a decent amont of power " ? There a good manifold but the problem they have is that they sit the Turbo so low it makes the oil return a nightmare.

yeah I have a cheap 60 dollar cast iron manifold, and installing the return was a bitch, its barely going in a downward direction.

What kind of turbo do you have relix? Does your car have shitty suspension? I can see shitty suspension and a heavy turbo would put more stress on the manifold, which I have bad suspension and a 60 trim precision =/
