2G Cracked DNP manifold forget or replace

[babyviper]

So I picked up a T3 DNP manifold last year never used and had it on the car for about 3-4000 miles. It hasn't even been 300 miles since I got the car back together with the new swaintech coating on it. I noticed a crack right by the wastegate, it seems like a very common place for it to crack and might have been this way before the coating. The coating just makes it more obvious. I haven't even been to the dyno yet with my new turbo and injectors and I'd like to see what it will put down. Should I just replace it or just rock it until it gets really bad. I'm sure I can find some sweet deals while at the shootout.

You're going to have to get it rewelded...

I agree with rewelding or replacing it. I wouldn't run it like that especially if you are going to have it dynoed. Fix it right, then hit the dyno. A pre-turbo exhaust leak is never a good thing.

An exhaust shop could fix that up for cheap. I had my O2 housing rewelded for 30 bucks.
