That's also one of the most poorly put together eBay auctions I have seen, and there doesn't appear to be a manifold.

the same company makes manifolds, i dunno why they dont have one in that kit...ive been eyeing the same kit for a while....it seems to be about suited to a 13B, im no expert on turbos tho, but i dont know what kind of quality it is.... be nice if they had better descriptions of stuff...

that is a great price. Don't see any SS lines but other than that it looks solid. You will need to buy one of their manifolds for 200 bucks

This exact same auction was commented on in the single turbo section. Its not a true T04S (60-1), since the blade design is wrong, and I think RETed spoke of those crap-gates not being able to handle rotary exhausts.

Not my personal experience, but it is known that cheap wastegates don't go with rotary engines, including the "not so cheap" deltagate.

I can;t find his original post about the issues with the wastegate

At the end, I won't trust my engine on a untrusted\unknown "wastegate".
