Well as I'm sure we're all well aware, the stock manifolds suck. HKS ones are nice, but bottom mount, somewhat rare and expensive. I refuse to buy an SSAutocrap unit so my choices seem to be dwindling. Many of us have already turned to Australia/New Zealand for our aftermarket bits so I was wondering if anyone had experience with one of these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&rd=1 or...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&rd=1

(I realize that they're probabaly the same thing, just different sellers.)

Or if not, anyone know of any decently cost-effective T3 flanged, externally gated manifolds and where to get them? It'd be much appreciated.

I'm with you on this one, i have an upgraded turbo externally gated, and i would like to put it on the motor before it goes in the car. So whoever is helping this man, would be helping me too.

Those look like the ssautochrome ones also. They have two versions, side mount and top mount. Personally I would stick with the HKS or get the Wasabi manifold. I have seen the new upgraded wasabi manifolds and they are braced like crazy. They also use much thicker piping. Here is a link of a past auction

Well those do indeed look sexcellent but they have this strange aura about them...maybe a "costs-more-than-I've-invested-in-my-whole-car" kind of aura?
