I believe Evane is correct in that whatever brand it is, the badge was removed where the EGT probe is.

RockmanX you don't get a boost leak from a cracked mani. You do however get an exhaust leak which can prevent you from boosting to full potential much like another Waste Gate that is always open.

LOL like i said before lol my manny of this type is cracked i only boost to 15psi i have never seen full boost 19psi and taper off deal. BECAUSE OF THE MANNY. lol i will not state it again. i can post pics i have of the manny. why do you think im buying anew one. when i bought my evo it had this manny on it cracked. I did not notice it beecause of the cracks location not to mention i was in a different state PA 22 hours from home and i flew up there for the evo. I was not leaving without a car lol . I have never seen full boost. lol i just decied to upgrade the car hence why i been buying all these parts. once i get it all put together ill be way above 19psi lol then i can see what a true evo is about but hey 15psi is still plenty fast for somebody that never driven a turbo car like me its great. New manny here i come



its right under the center column theres your crack. Garbage mannies

^^^^ actully ive heard this before...wrapping it can keep the degrees down inside the manni, so i dont see why it wouldnt stop it from cracking.....but i still am not 100%sure if it prevents mannis from cracking....i got the megan manifold, for the most part gave me good power gains, and still no cracks with alota miles on it.
