I will make it easier for you 1) have u got a spare 1000 or so and want a good manifold for your turbo? 2)...then go and spend it on a 6boost :P but whatever you have now will work...plenty of people have used cheap manifolds with some success, just depends on how bad YOUR manifold is.

i'd guess there'd be other things to worry about before that manifold mate. Do it in the right order to avoid pitfalls.

is the manifold a hindrance at the moment? Are there not other things that would be worth investing in first before a manifold? if not then go 4 it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
