    makes me wonder...if i can shell out 400 for a full kit for my car and have it run atleast 20,000 miles i guess it would be a steal comapred to spending 1800 on the next best t3/t4 kit for the car.

    shit i could buy a backup turbo just incase the turbo gives and still be in the clear
    exactly. as long as you are prepared for it to not last, then i say get it. cause two things will happen:
    1) youll be lucky and not have any trouble
    2) youll have an issue an have to replace it

    Charles, the manifold to get for the 240s is the MEGAN RACING, the XS power ones crack like the honda ones

    I have a XS turbo and 2 manifolds in my shop. I have to say the quality looks good, but I haven't put them to use yet.

    Im using an XS single turbo manifold on my RB26 build up. It cost me $200 were as a HKS one can run for as much as $2000. When doing research on it I found that the early designs for RB's cracked a lot, but supposedly the newer design doesn't. It was also recomended to brace the manifold to help support the weight of bigger turbos.

    Like you, I figured for $200 I could justify having cracks fixed or even buying another. Especially when the the cheapest "high quality" single turbo manifold I have found in the past year was $800 used.
