Alrighty, boys and girls,

my manifold on my "custom" turbo kit is officially cracked. It is/was a equal lengths, tubular manifold similar to TOMMYBOYS. It's cracked on runners 1,2, and 3 and for the past 2 wks, I've been hearing it sputter but I only thought that the manifold wasn't bolted down enough but when I pulled the heat wrap off the manifold, there they were some disturbing cracks. *note* never piece together your own turbo kit, it's a pain...now my question to your turbo gurus *MWC, THUNDER, STAN, WYATT, JASON, etc....* Now I'm going to try and get it welded (if I can get it off) but I'm scared that it's just going to crack again so.......

Ok the scenario, saw an ad on the parts trader for a star manifold, THAT"S it...nothing else, I know that I need a downpipe, ok, I'll worry about that later....my questions

1. Besides the t3/t4 turbo, what other turbo will bolt up to the star manifold, ????

and IF a turbo that has an internal wastegate can bolt on, what do i do about the hole that was for the wastegate??

2. What wastegate can I use besides the Delta?? I'm not too familiar with how the external wastegate works?

Thanks all! I'm still pretty green with the turbo thing and if MWC never came up here to help me finish up my "project" than I wouldn't have ever finished, NOW i run into this, I hope somebody can shed some light onto this.
