I don't know if I would really trust that....come to think of it...
That sucker is strong as hell. I think it **might** make a good turbo header. Only problem would be the placement of the exhaust housing relative to the A/C compressor. You wouldn't have enough room for a DP to sneak by.

I'd question the welds. Was it done with a high nickle content rod? Doubt it. Was the manifold cherry red when it was welded? I doubt that very much, too.
My stock manifold cracked to shit with NO weight on it. I don't think I would trust it with the weight of a turbo unless it was WELL braced.

Exaclty.....welding cast is no walk in the park and must be done by someone who has alot of experience with it. Cast can be welded with the right nickel rod and proper prep work but at that price i doubt it very much. Cast ends up being pre heated for 12 hours usually.
