Someone i once spoke to said they had one on and it cracked all the way around the flange that bolts to the turbo so it was just hanging there, but good named brands have also had failed items so wait and see what others say.

Roosie is having one made at the moment, should have it next week, but that was £500, I think, so they are about.

Stick to what you've got mate, especially at your power, as had been said no need to change your already efficient 2wd item

with ANY tubular manifold you WILL need a propper turbo hanger/brace or they WILL crack.

doesnt matter if its a £100 xs power one, or a £1000 HKS one.

as for that one, id stick to the std cossie one
