the other damaged bit of engine.

I take it this is the same 90 Turbo II. First 89-91 Turbo II exhaust
manifold I have seen cracked. Was the boost increased or was it left
stock? Very common on the 87-88 turbo's but not so common
on the 89-91.

Oh well I can always gets some of RB Wagners sched 40 SS tubing
bends and build my own manifold if mine cracks too.

I have an 89 TII manifold.  Never boosted past 9 psi, about 150k, or so.  On
the engine side, there is one crack at least 1/2" long on one port.  On the
turbo side are several cracks.  I know of a few others in bad shape, but I
have also seen some in very good shape.
