Now there is some good old cracks, from the intense heat of the rotary engine, on the stock turbo manifold for ya.

hahahha...damn not the wifey dude....don't worry that's happened to about 95% of us, I was trying to diagnose a boost problem about 2 years ago and went through all the vacuum lines and it ended up being my ******* manifold, this type of headache is the reason why I went single...

The cracks are normal. Extensive cracking in this case, yes, but if the turbos were functioning they can continue. It does appear though that one crack might be leaking exhaust past the gasket.

What problems are you troubleshooting.

I agree.. the one crack extending beyond the gasket's coverage area had to be causing a leak..What kind of use were your turbos seeing?

Like others said, it's pretty cracked, but not something that would cause major problems.
