Kings performance turbo good or bad?
Exactly what I was thinking. Adding the weight of a turbo and a wastegate at the end of a long manifold would make it more prone to cracking. I'm suprised that most people do not brace their turbo when they are running long sidewinders, but I can assume that the options for bracing are pretty limited.
I haven't held too many manifolds, but the Kings is really heavy. If its not schedule 40 then I am wondering what the heck 40 would feel like.
I might have to talk to the shop doing my custom exhaust to see if the can brace the manfold somewhere.

yeah for me I don't have any room to brace anywhere. Specially with the ptuning oil/vac block. I may have to see about bracing. You also have the weight of the dumptube and downpipe on there which is a lot. But you would thinking they have multiple race cars running this manifold they would have figured if it needs bracing or not. I don't know, just a thought.

You're welcome.
Yeah taking it off is a real pain in the butt, especially since getting some of the nuts off need a special tools. I had to buy a crows foot to get mine off and on. Then its super heavy to ship and down time waiting to get it back. Rather take it local shop and pay them to fix it. I don't know. Thats disconcerning that two people now I have heard of cracked theres. Makes me wish more and more I went with the trackforge kit.
