Tube VS. Cast

[primestick]

Ok I did a search for this and all i found was 4g36 stuff. I was wondering what is the pros or cons of tube over a cast turbo manifold. I have been looking at a few diffrent turbo manis one is the obx tube and the other is the only cast 420a mani on ebay. I have a stock turbo off a GSX that i plan on running on my car untill i can afford to rebuild the whole bottom end. Another option for me would be to make my own tube mani, but where would i get the flange?

on school computer so no spell check, and i suck at spelling...

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for when buying crap on eBay. Plenty of guys have made great power on cast log manifolds.

You want flanges? Do a little searching. Google. Vibrant Performance ::.

If you plan on running the GSX turbo on a pre-made manifold, make sure it has the right flange.

Not only those flanges but the actual manifold flange also.

The only ebay manifolds I would trust are the cast ones...there isn't a whole lot you can mess up there. Tubular on the other hand can crack, so if you ever plan on getting one get a good one.

Well let me say fisrt off google sucks. Second i have looked and all that stuff is prefab. i am looking for the exhaust manifold flang the part that would bolt to the head so i can get my own tube and weld my own manifold.
