Before the finals on Sunday, I noticed that the pipe connecting the manifold to the wastegate was cracked, but in shear desperation I still decided to run.
It didn't feel down on power, far from it, and the boost was still in check, but the run home (another 60 odd miles) must have finished it off.
The crack now runs 90% of the way round the pipe and it is nearly broken off completely.
I will need to think of what to do, as I have already repaired it in the past after an earlier dyno' session!

A friend of mine had a similar problem with his top mount manifold, he is Spyke's housemate too, might be worth shooting Spyke a PM and asking how Dave repaired his mani?

Yeah, that's the one. It was quite cheap too.
Any chance that the heatwrap may have lead to that?

Just chillin'
get it re-welded. try and make some sort or bracket the bolts to the head or the exhaust manifold flange to try and support some of the weight. On some of the 200SX manifolds there is bracket from the exhaust flange and the turbo flange that you bolt on to support the weight to stop it cracking. Good luck with it as it looks like its going to be a bit of work with the lack of space you have
