'83 TQ exhaust manifold

[huschilt@genesis.mcs.com (Tom Husschilt)]

Just in case my first attempt didn't get sent i am re-sending my message.  My '83 turbo quattro has a badly cracked exhaust manifold.  The car has only 60000 miles on it yet the manifold has already been repaired once (someone tried to braze it).  It is cracked in at least half a dozen places.  I have never seen one this bad.  Is this a common problem with these cars?  Has anyone had success welding one?  Does anyone know where I can get a new or used one at a reasonalbe price?  Any info would help a lot!
