1.6 Ebay manifold (and downpipe?)
 
Don't be me. Read stickies first before posting and looking like a tool. Sorry for the clutter.

--I'm not looking to buy this for myself, but I did happen to stumble across it: Megan racing manifold and downpipe
It's a t25 manifold supposedly from Megan Racing for 1.6 Miatas. The picture shows a downpipe as well, but didn't see it listed in the description. This isn't the infamous and original TacoTaco is it? That was before my (miata) time. Don't know if anyone's tried this here or if it's blasphemous to even mention an Ebay part, but I thought some of you might be interested. I've personally had great luck with a Megan Racing downpipe on my 1.8t GTI, 80,000 miles @ 20psi without a hiccup, not that that means much for different parts on different cars.

It is like you did not even bother to read the stickies at the top of this section that talk about that exact setup.

I did not. Sure enough, this is the first pic posted in the cracked ebay manifold sticky.

I should have read before posting.

Sorry for being "that guy".

Lasted a whopping 2k miles at 7-8psi on my friends car.(it cam with it).

The reason these janky downpipes "work" on other, factory turbo cars, is usually because turbo's on those cars are usually well braced and bolted to a proper cast iron manifold, and everything else is bolted down too, so there is just about zero stress or force on the downpipe.
