It will break. I'm not kidding. OBX manifolds break a lot.
If you support the turbo with brackets leading to the block it may not break... but without those, it'll break.

Rep Power: 0 I bought this thing for $150.00 off of Ebay. Normally, I would never buy anything from Ebay or OBX but I decided to take a chance. I have mixed feelings about the manifold. From the outside it looks good, but the way it is connected to the upper flange and the wastegate flange is kind of cheesy. It's hard to explain what they did, I'll try to get some pictures of it. I think with some modification this could be a decent manifold. I would NOT pay $300 for this manifold, though. My manifold fits ok but I am kind of worried about it breaking. Not because it looks weak but because it IS made by OBX. I would probably suggest not buying this.
