Default Obx manifold
Are the Obx turbo manifolds decent? Do they crack like the ssautochrome on do?

Yup, they're junk like ssautochrome. Mine fell apart after 1,000 miles, but i only bought it because it was cheap and i've a welder.

Blox are cast manifolds. they work fine, but there are a few fitment problems on the B18C. Grinding down the manifold or block solves the problem.
