i would actually like to know if its gone this long without cracking?
Muppet you still around these parts?

After a wee talk with Rob (Vpulsar) going to take the car down to the company in Newcastle get them to make a custom 3" down pipe and then get some custom supports for the manifold.
Hopefully that will stop the unwanted stress on it. Not to sure yet how it is going to look with the new tubby on it and if it is going to need re-welding.

make sure the bolt holes for the manifold supports have some play in them and dont torque em down too tight
i still dont believe in manifold supports because of simple thermal dynamics, the support may not expand at the same rate or in the same direction as the manifold/turbo and may actually cause cracking rather than prevent it. The manifold runners, flanges and welds should be off the proper spec to hold the weight up (as well as the manifold studs).
That being said they have become quite popular, i dont know if anyones had problems with them or not.
