1) It's running those crappy OBX or SSAutoChrome turbo exhaust manifolds - these things have been known to crack and fail.

2) It's running an on-center turbine housing. I'd worry about clearances for your FC, since the manifold was made for an FD and a more efficient tangential turbine housing would start hitting ****.
