I hear you chuck but the crack will only continue to grow then completely break!!!!! Are you even sure that cast manifold can even be welded?

If you have the crack repaired, and then support the turbo with a bracket like esfourteen did, how is it going to break? Maybe the guy who made the brackets for him could turn out another set for you.

Thanks chuck I will check on it because I have no faith gtm will do the right thing and send me another manifold... I should just stick a stock motor back in there and sell my built motor and go buy a gtr....

You'll get it handled. It'll be better than before. It's just a shitty process. Boost withdrawal may cause depression. Most doctors would prescribe scotch, a cigar and yelling profanity at the car.

Some of the GTRs have turbo-manifold issues too. A guy at the office busted a bolt on the turbo-manifold connection. Motor had to be dropped to fix it. Shop quoted him 24hrs of labor.

24 hrs of labor plus GTR tax had to be a fortune.

So the block itself is still good? The manifolds have cracked. Sharpbycoop reported it but didn't seem affect his built block and he banged on it hard. Course it doesn't excuse it.
Good luck buddy. |

This ^, had to replace the manifold that came with my used kit as it was far from a weld repair. A shiny new $+450 mani was the only option...
