Default Cracked Greddy turbo Manifold.....Help!

Please Help!

Our Greddy Passanger Side Manifold has a stress crack all the way through. We need a replacement ASAP and Greddy is not coming to the rescue. If any of you have one or knows someone who may have one PLEASE PLEASE let me or my fiancee know (tamilicious). Anything is helpful at this point!!

Thanks in advanced.

2 years ago, i bought a used Greddy TT kit. I took both mani's to our local parts shop to get the mounts reconditioned so it'd be a nice flat surface with no leaks. One mount came out fine, the other, well... The guy that was sanding them down must have had a bad day and sanded it at an angle leaving one side about a 1/4 thicker than the other. One of the bolt holes was about as thick as a penny!!!

I was just as stressed as you are at this point because everyone I talked to said you can not get replacement parts from Greddy. Well the owner of the shop got in touch with some higher up guy with Greddy based in California who in turn got in touch with someone in Japan. 3 weeks after they destroyed my manifold, a brand new one came to my door. He didn't say how much it cost him to fix his mistake (Couple hundred I think), but he got the Japan dealer to take a manifold out of one of their pre packaged kits and send it to me.

So... If you know how to work the system and can find the right way to go about it, you can get another one. I'm proof of it. Good luck man!

I have some teaser pics in the Video of the meet we had aug 23rd. I am in iraq right now, so i do not have access to take pics. and my supply is limited. All the pictures i have are old. and do not do it justice for all the $$$$ my fiancee and I put into it. I will have Video and pictures when i am home and it is complete. Untill then check out the video i the thread i will make in about 20 minutes when my youtube is done uploading the video. its the last part of the movie. so stick around and watch.
