Is this a good idea for a Turbo manifold?

ouch, i think what everyone is saying(in mean ways) is, prbably not a good idea.
My ebay header = shit.
I wouldnt trust ebay FI hardware. I would save and get better quality.
And yes, i understand money issues but buying quality will always will last.
Unless you dont mind spending a couple hundred everytime the thing cracks

I trust you all realise that 'ebay' is and auction site. People use it to sell good stuff and people use it to sell crap. In this case, crap.

ebay ≠ crap
obx = crap

Then I think you might have misunderstood.

I have bought plenty of parts from reliable retailers and private traders through ebay. I haven't bought any from OBX though.

Exactly.. I do not buy non brand items on Ebay besides inter cooler piping. I use Ebay to buy Tial, Exedy, Greddy, HKS, and more.. I am saying I saw this and well it looked weird and i thought I would post, I think I found the manifold I am going with, or I will buy a used in great condition one on here from someone for significantly less.

That manifold looks like a really bad design and the way its built, I would assume that the weight of the turbo would break the manifolds welds on that one.

I was looking @ that add, and it reminds me of a diesel manifold, lol. I think I'd rather take a log manifold of that POS.
