Looks like cast iron? Explains why its so heavy, cast+iron. Should be almost indestructable in that case. You should post some pics installed.

 

yo so flo my friend has that same mani. make sure u use a gasket. lock tight. and lock washer's on the bolt's that u bolt the wg down with. they will come right out!

 

yup what weezy says and Chad look at my thread and you will see a picture of it installed! only thing is that you have to grind the fan shroud a lil cause of that top wastegate nipple is so big.

 

The turbokits.com "custom kit" comes with that manifold in shiny chrome lol. 100 bucks eh? Funny how their kit still costs 4k+ lolz.

 

It will crack eventually due to the heat. It's like how the DSM stock manifolds and turbine housings would crack over time. I would definitely get it coated as cast iron will soak up the heat and give it off fast. Stainless retains heat in the manifold a little bit better which helps with spool.

Good luck I hope everything works out for you this time.

 

are u saying to use a wg gasket? ive never used a wg gasket :o

 

how long is eventually

 

the propper way to do it is to buy a stage8 locking fastner set and do it the right way never have to worry about stripped bolts or loose bolts

and that ____s way to expensive lol

 

cant post a better link it being a flash driven site but go to performance automotive then imports then turbo kit figure out your thread on the mani match it up trusst me they are life savers i havent switched my scion to it yet but were a must on my old air cooled vw i havent had a stripped bolt or lose bolt on my entire kit i put together the turbo downpipe manifold wastegate with red lock tite let it sit for 2 days then installed it never had a bolt back out or go loose
