What do you guys think of the ones that adapt to the stock manifold?

How many of you guys actually have had an ebay manifold crack on you?

I don't wanna hear your friend, your mom, your brother, your goat...I wanna hear about YOU. How many of YOU have had an ebay manifold crack? first hand?

Mine cracked right at the collector flange.
Cracked on the side where that joke of a flange brace is.
That thing is as thin as a coke can, what a joke.

Anyway, only 3 years of use, and who
knows when it cracked during that time.

:borg:

They're not hearsay... I've never cracked an ebay manifold because I've never had an ebay manifold. I've seen too many pictures of them, from people with first hand experience. All it takes it a little searching on bimmerforums or e30tech. Though I've also seen many people have great success with them. That's why I always recommend bracing the turbo with an ebay manifolds, but never say "don't buy from ebay"

Gotta pay to play...

But there are cheaper options. The ebay turbo manifolds work ok if you weld some gussets in key places so that it doesn't crack down the road.

That's what I'm thinking. I'll just make a mount to support the turbo so it wont crack the manifold

[nando]

I bought my genuine 666fab used manifold adapter for less than that... It'd probably work fine though. I'd suggest bracing the turbo to the block/head so the adapter doesn't crack though, as it's surely thin metal.

wow really,, well other than buying the kit how would some get there hands on the c.a.r.b. sticker and carb pdf?;)

The PDF is available on the CARB website. The sticker is hard to come by.
