If you brace it right it'll last. Make make sure you don't get one of those freak manufacture mistake turbos that falls apart...

the wastegate fell off? did you try to glue it on because you didnt have any bolts lying around? i have doubts it just fell off bolted in.

I'm thinking he meant that part of the manifold cracked/broke ? Or the wastegate maybe just broke?

I have a friend claiming that their 2.9mm thickness manifolds don't crack quite as easily...esp if you brace them.

They seem to have copies of all types of manifolds now: Ramhorn, Pro-race (42mm ID), "twisted" ramhorn with 50mm ID --- all with 3" DP

OBX seems to have just the ramhorn with 3" DP; SSAuto is ripping on OBX, claiming that they (SSauto) are better... Yet from what I hear, that OBX manifold holds up (Just that one). OBX has the manifold and DP for $475 shipped I believe. SSauto sells their stuff for much cheaper...The OBX manifold LOOKS more like the full-race (just judging by pics)


Heh...well I don't own or deal with any of this stuff, but that's what I've heard so far. I've worked with a Full-Race manifold up-close so if I ever come across this stuff, I'll know what to compare against for the FR standard

EDIT: As for the turbo kit; obviously that actual TURBO is sub-par. Every now and then someone will get a working one...don't do it of course. And the guy who had great comments about the kit was being sarcastic...
