Ebay Turbo manifolds? Any comments?

Does anyone have any experience with any of these turbo exhaust manifolds selling on ebay such as:

or

I know you guys are extremely knowledgeable and therefore trust your judgement and appreciate your advice, comments, suggestions.

Mixed reviews...
I have 2 friends running them on their 3rd gens with no issues.
I have another friend that used it on a TII and it cracked.

just make sure you dont try and "strengthen" it by rewelding anything or it will crack and also a brace for the turbo wouldnt hurt to take some of the stress off of the manifold.

if you have to ask, its probly not a good idea.....the turbo manifold is to vital to cheap out on.

my .02cents. save up and make sure that the part your buying will last you a while.

I bought one and the bolt pattern for the turbo was supposed to be a t4 but one was off so it wouldn't work. I could have drilled another one but ended up getting a deal on an hks.
