btw just to clarify for some people... I am almost 100% positive these manifolds are cracking due to heat stress, and NOT the weight of the turbo. I'm also not sure that these "new" manifolds will be any better in the long run... Just throwing that out there

Hi, the cracked manifolds that you have, are they from the original GTM twin turbo kit a while back ? The kit that you have to relocate the steering gear rack and also remove the front crash bar ?

I got the idea. But cracked exhaust manifolds is a very serious issue and it unknown what has been done to the new exhaust manifold design in order to alleviate this issue. Does anyone else run into this cracked manifold problem besides 09nismo ?

It definitely is a very serious issue, amongst many others.. Anyone who would still do business with this company after all this is just insane.. IMO of course.
