Manifold Question
 
Okay so I know I've probably just fucked myself with a cactus, but I just have to ask this stupid ------- question.

I'm looking at this little combo, its a SSAC combo

http://a763.g.akamai.net/7/763/1644/...1/VPID/2770553


Total is about 150 shipped. Thats a manifold and wastegate.
My question is... IF I bought this. Where should I focus on "beefing" this POS up?

This is pretty much all I lack to complete my turbo kit...

I would mount the turbo with the compressor facing the pass side. I think it puts less stress on the manifold by keeping the turbo closer to the block. That and brace the turbo flange to the head flange.

I wouldn't go that far, I've seen them break before. They are much less likely to break than the classic ssauto mani though.
