Default Zetec Turbo Tubular manifold position

I am thinking about changing my exhaust manifold, i have a standard erst manifold which has been modified to fit zetec. If i replace it for a tubular like the obx manifold in link below will the turbo still sit in the same position so my exhaust and boost pipe will fit the same? I noticed the turbo flange is facing downwards on the obx manifold.

Has anyone fitted the obx manifold? is it any good?

Cheers

Also looking at the manifold in the link below which is cast as i have read that the tubular ones crack, Can anyone confirm this?

I need to know if the turbo will be in the same position if i fit one as i dont want to have to change the exhaust

obx ones work just fine make sure you fit a flexi and/or compensator somewhere in the downpipe. Cracking occurs due to lack of movement, especially if the manifold is wrapped due to the heat build up.

not sure on dimensions but its likely to be different
