Yeah, should hold.
The hottest part of the exhaust is in the turbine, and that's where the exhaust dumps into the downpipe. My downpipe has the cast iron flange, and I welded onto that with a mig... very strong.

haha my wifes geo's 4afe manifold is cracked between the first 2 runners and the 2nd set of runners... so that manifold looks a bit better then mine to start off w/
i'm thinking the same thing w/ the rolla though, a turbo woud make it so much more fun and would be relativly simple... for that kinda manifold it should hold plenty well... idealy i belive you should use an ARC welder for cast to steel, i don't recall the rod you should use... NI maybe? after welding you are suposed to let it cool VERY slowly... i know some guys burry it in a bunch of sand... they say it's still warm 24 hrs later... if i ever go though w/ the turbo idea i'll likely do something like this
so what are your plans for fuel managment? i've got a parts car comming my way soon so i could always rebuild the motor w/ GZE low compression semi forged pistions just wonder how the auto tranny would take that extra 6psi or so :-/

There was a guy in Florida running 14.5's with an auto tranny, I think he had like a 94 Rolla, the auto's can take the boost fine!
Well, I had the FMU on before, but I sold it for $103 and bought a EIC SMC for $50, and I have some DSM 450's laying around somewheres.....
