my dezod manifold is cracked too. been cracked for about 3 weeks, still not fixed. waiting for my new one....still... don from dezod messaged me and said they sent out a new one, when my guy @ autograph emailed paul for a tracking number to see if it was almost here, paul said he didnt know wtf he was talking about. so now this has turned into an episode of full house.

3 weeks is nothing. You wouldn't have survived the Turbo Toyotas Challenge.

I've put about ten thousand miles on my Turbonetics manifold. No flex pipe or spring bolts in the exhaust. Had poly motor mounts for most of those miles. No cracks yet. But it will happen eventually.

i dont think ptuning is selling their manifolds or any part of their kit separate.. Cast manifolds crack too, never had problems yet on my stainless steel. back to EGTs, what are yours?

His issue has nothing to do with egt's


His issue now is.. It broke when he didint have spring bolts or any support..

He had it rewelded twice now.. and not that he has the brakets the manifold is just to fed!

It needs to be decked it needs to be rewelded.. do your self a favor and throw it in the garbage and start again!
