Hi all im running a GT28/30 turbo on what suspiciously looks like an ebay special el cheapo high mount turbo manifold.

It was fitted by the PO and the welds began to crack in the manifold a few months after i bouught the 1200, i had them welded up but a couple months later they have cracked again.

Has anyone else had problems with ebay manifolds? Im tempted to try my luck depending on others experiences... but im thinking the weight of the turbo could be the main reason the welds cracked.

Should i just save my beans and go full custom with bracing or try my luck with an ebay manifold and get some custom bracing made up to take some of the weight off it?

Cheers!
