      I don't think fitting budget EM is sensible thing to do.You will most likely end up refitting original one back on or buying another non budget item.i would save money and buy proper stuff.

        I have been told the ones sold on eBay hold up OK if you properly brace the turbo.

            It will be vulnerable for cracks. It's made form stainless less is good, but thermal expansion will cause cracks an issue. As the manifolds is only welded and there are no joints to compesate thermal expansion it is still an issue.

              The manifold in the picture was made by a guy on here, if I recall he was selling them for 350-400. So you cant get a decent manifold for around 400-500 bud?

                The only budget manifold with kkk flange is a cast. The stainless version is tubular but you need to change oil lines dp etc etc had one didn’t even bothered fitting it I chuck it in bin cheap Chinese crap

                    I think he is referring to those US$99.00 on ebay/USA a few years ago that some calling them trash but some praising it like heaven sent. You get what you paid for that is.
