Kemp, we are not going to do this type of thread again.
Cast good
ebay SS man bad
You can get away with a ebay cast manifold and used with a atp dp. If you buy a ebay SS man, it will break in about a week.
One last thing, kemp, you really are the type of person that needs a kit. Please dont take offense to that, but you are in way over your head on building your own. If you cant spend $3k on a t3t4 50trim kit and what not, do not spend the money.

I have no car still. How can you have a kit and no manifold? The manifold has to work with the turbo, lines etc. You seriously sound like you are going to be in for a big surprise when your parts dont fit or work together.
Oh, and i want vids to back up your slips at edgewater. BTW, i know what edgewater looks like

While I'm all about saving money. There are times where it's good not to skimp. the critical engine parts aren't an area to be cheap. FMIC, Exhaust, intake..... have at it. but when your talking about the engine, pistons, heads, manifold, turbo ebay isn't the place. Sure you can get it, and it will probably work well for awhile, but sooner or later it's gonna crap out on you. then you have to spend at least double the price by spending the money again.

RE: which BT manifold?
Except for the fact that it is inbetween the engine and the turbo. so it is exposed to very high heat and pressure.The exhaust isnt.
