Ok I am going turbo. Should I keep the Cast Iron manifold or sell it and get the tubular SS one?

if your going turbo, then you'll need to replace the manifold anyway. might as well get a good design.

if you're talking about SSautochrome, i've heard nothing but bad bad things about their poor quality products. port the HF manifold out and you should be fine

Ahh so the ssautochrome turbo manifold is junk?????
I have heard that their intake manifold (OBX) was questionable ...
But I had always wondered (fantasized perhaps?) about that (seemingly) beautiful TURBO manifold available for oh-so-cheap on eBay..

I will let you draw your own opinion on the eBay/SSautochrome manifolds. Give lovefab.com a look.

The SSautochrome manifolds are known to crack without bracing, not to mention the collector isn't very good and the wastegate placement is not good either. I would just dish out for a lovefab manifold or a good cast piece such as revhard or inline pro.
