I think you should just buy a cast manifold from this guy:

Re: anyone know if this turbo mani is any good?
i got my $80 ebay cast mani today, looks fine. i checked the holes with gaskets and they seem perfect, dont really see how it could suck beside the wg flange is on one runner, its on the end where they meet at least, unless my turbo hits the block. the casting has some "pores" in it but i dont think thats a big deal, maybe all new cast does, dont think i ever seen a new cast manifold
