I don't know about where _you_ are, but Audi in the UK has recently
dropped the price of the original ur-quattro manifold by 50%.

Failing that, there's Dialynx (I have one, and it seems to work) or the
retrofit of the 200TQ two-part manifold pioneered by Adam Marsden
at AM Cars.  Apparently it needs a little work with a Dremel.

The Dialynx manifold, BTW, requires that the centre pipe be shortened
and a flexible coupling be used.
