I believe even by bracing the manifold it will inevitably crack, I would just be prepared with a welder. Good Luck finding a DIY, and good luck with boosting.

there was a guy either here in the FI section or on homemadeturbo.com that had braced it and it was holding up )dont know how long it has been). If you are doing this on a budget, why not use a OEM (HF,CX,VX) manifold. At least if it cracks you arent out 150 bucks.........
