i agree.i built Rob's turbo kit,and everything was braced as it should be.the manis still failed.also have another car i built a kit for using an SSAC mani that cracked.these were also the newer style with more bracing.
for around $300 you can get a Honda log mani made with sch40 piping,or a cast Drag manifold.either will work better and will be 100 times more durable than the SSAC crap.
Rob also had an SSAC wastgate fail.that could have easily led to a blown engine.Tial 38mm gates are so cheap now,it'd be dumb not to get the real thing.
BTW-that's my post in the site linked by the OP.i want royalties.
