you should brace your manifold. Stuff cracks even after you brace it as well so.... i suggest putting some bracing on it if you want it to last. (Unless you bought some Cast piece which it dosnt look like or something exspensive) Mine which looks just like yours has crack 3 times now. But im beating the crap out of this thing at the track.
PS . your cars gonna be great when your finished, Good luck on the build

Thanks, I had the place that does my machine work look at the manifold it has braces from the flange to the pipes on every pipe and the turbo flange also has 2 braces on it. I was gonna have the put three froms from the turbo flange to the manifold flange but they said it wasn't needed.
