liquid on very hot manifold is not good... If you keep the rain cover, it should be okay. The rain need to pour like **** to crack it.

Anyone have their thermodynamics equations handy?

have you guys check out some of the other evo offerings of Full Race on thier web site ?
They have several evo kits which just blow me away. I just saw one the other day on a car with a Buschur Stroker kit - I give the Full Race GT35R kit the highest possible review - it simply blows awa'y everything else in the market
I dont sell them - just wanted to give my own two cents - It suprizes me that more guys dont try then for turbo kits

This is a very rare occurance, and one that we would certainly remedy, either by repairing the damaged manifold, or providing the customer with a brand new unit, free of charge. Our customer support is second to none, and if there is a crack in one of our manifolds, we deifnately want to know about it. We want to know where it is, why it is there, how it got there and we will make sure the manifold never cracks there again.

This would not be like dumping a bucket of water on a cherry red manifold, where you are causing very rapid cooling. Rain would have a gradual effect, plus, if you are driving (and boosting, presumably) you are creating heat, thus decreasing the amount of temperature change.

I am hoping to see more Full Race turbo kits on customer's Evos so that I may have an opportunity to tune more of them
Also - I have a question - are you gentlemen yet making a divided housing manifold with twin wastegates fo rthe GT42R ?
Thanks AL

I have used similar material in my own manifold on my car acdn found it to be very robust
