The turbo manifold has nothing to with him. Blame the fabricator.

I think his point was that he said it was new when it was obviously used.

He could have done a reeeeallly poor job installing the turbo kit, causing it to crack.

Please PM me with evidence that this can happen. Im not saying I dont believe you, Im just saying that Ive never heard of it happening nor do I think its possible for a manifold to crack due to improper install.

Quick example: You overtorque one of the bolts, and the manifold cracks.

by the time you over torque a bolt to the manifold you would strip the bolt on the head
