Default 1.8 eBay cast manifold

What the hell did I find here? Can it be true? Is this the answer to my prayers or fail waiting to happen? MAZDA MIATA MX5 1.8L T2 T25 T28 PERFORMANCE IRON EXHAUST HEADER TURBO MANIFOLD

I've seen lots about the lots about the 1.6 mani but nothing about the 1.8 mani or where to find it. It almost looks like a FM one.

There is plenty of info around. It's a copy of an old begi or FM manifold.

It looks nothing like the current FM manifolds

I meant the orientation of the turbo looks like it would be the same as the FM one I'd image since it's cast it would be pretty bullet proof except the flow might suck

Was on car Feb through a few weeks ago. Ran at drag strip several times, lots of antilag, saw 40 PSI a few times, 38 many many times. No problems. Swapped it to go from a T2 to T3 version, will be selling the T2 version here at some point.

100 shipped. It's been ported as well so it flows better than a stock ebay manifold.
