turbo manifolds with larger welds and runners are preferable, make sure equal length, its also good when a bracket is used to support the weight of the turbo, and wastegate, this way less stress on the welds of the manifold, and doesnt pull or stretch the head at all when under acceration.

I may be tooting my own horn, and i'm new here, but I've made quite a few turbo manifolds (42 to be exact). Check my cardomain if ya want. I do all my own assembly and autocadding for the flanges. D and B series head flanges always instock along with popular turbo flanges. Everything is Tig'd, and well braced, 6 month warranty. I'm just down the 401.

Lovefab do make a great manifold...no doubt about it. I don't mind boosting my warranty by quite a bit for a lil extra cash either. Especially if it gives somebody a lil piece of mind that if it cracks they can have it fixed not too far away. Not that I'm doubting it would give out anyways.
