There will always be a measure of risk here. It's not like you can check out the condition of the turbo. I'd probably just buy a brand new turbo, but that's me. I'm not a big fan of EBay anyways.

You could get a manifold off of Ebay, or you could just get the parts from JGS and have a manifold for like 150 bucks.

actually a good deal on going for a cheap mani is to buy ss autochromes sr mani fold for 175 bucks and then buy a ka flange and have it welded on there... all together its like ~300 bucks for a nice mani
