It probably has a crack on the bottom too.
There are a lot of manifolds that will work with the turbo and motor. Finding one that also works with the downpipe will be hard.

Agree with everyone else. Get a wideband UEGO gauge on the car asap and see what's going on there. AEM just came out with a new gauge that they are claiming is the fastest on the market with utilizing the new bosch 4.9. Might be worth checking into.
AEM's new X- series Wideband Gauge
It is a must have for a turbo car. (or any car really)

Don't build a turbo setup around the turbo.
A good manifold is arguably the most important non-electronic piece of the kit.
Do yourself a favor, and buy a complete MKTurbo kit. It's a good budget kit made by our very own Lars.
FM is also a good option, and used kits pop up on here frequently.

Or if you want to be cheap, you get a taco taco 1.6 manifold (if they still sell them) and then hack together a downpipe.
Normally the turbos in the ebay kits are pretty shitty though.

I check fuel pressure and everything is within spec, took apart the turbo hoping to find an issue and found nothing wrong with the turbo. I really though after all that I would know for a fact that turbo was bad. Everything at the moment looks good on it.
After fuel pressure speced out I took the charge pipe off the turbo and hooked up the maf to the throttle body it puts out a little bit of force at wot but not enough for boost, which made me pull the turbo to find nothing wrong....I was hoping to find the waste flapper mia but was there and functional. I check the play with a gauge and everything was well within spec. All the fins look good. I am starting to know what else is even possible at this point.
Fuel and turbo is good atm.

So many things. Is the wastegate moving. Wire the wastegate shut and see if it makes boost. If it doesn't then either exhaust is getting out somewhere else or your turbo is dead. Are you sure there isn't a big crack on the bottom of the manifold? Thats where mine was cracked.
