yes but not in the US.

As for the manifold, you are looking at just around $1,000. Rui makes nice tubular manifolds and I think his are $800.

does anyone know of a place in Autralia that makes turbo manifolds?

Guys keep in mind that in Australia the vehicles are RHD and the steering column causes obstruction.
If you want a tubular manifold for a RHD as in the picture contact www.chiplogic.co.za . I know there is another company called Sav Speed in South Africa that has cast manifold and you can also contact Active Autoworks who have a RHD kit.

i have a savspeed manifold and it craked after 15000km boosting .4bar, rather get a custom one made from an exhaust shop.

328B I am also no big fan of cast manifolds. Yours cracked relatively early but keep in mind the boost pressure doesnt relate to exhaust manifold pressure in any way. Are you sure your car wasnt running lean.

GeorgeSmooth my car is not running lean if anything its running rich.
if u looking for a manifold in SA speak to Viper in jhb they quoted me around R3000 for the job. i've just welded my cast manifold while i do more research. i let you know if i find anyone who can do a better job.
