new crackie-chan manifold
got my new $108 manifold, took some pics so you all could see the fine craftmenship 
this is what sucks, i dont really have the tools to get all in deep and clean this up and im sorta worried its gona destroy my turbine wheel if any of this comes loose.. i did my best to break anything loose with a screwdriver.. then i dropped $2 at the car wash and pressure sprayed all the metal out of it, there was alot of metal pieces in there when i got it..
i was at the local turbo shop and he wanted to check it out, he asked who made it, i said its straight outta china, he advised against bracing it, said it would probly do more bad then good?
