UH OH! I smell expensive...

Q- listers,

I was just under the car contemplating removing my turbo to inspect the
exhaust side impeller to see if that may be the root of my high boost
problems. Then I saw it!  There is a crack in the bottom side of the exhaust
manifold. (83 TQC)

O.K. So this may be a way for a piece of foreign material to be injested by
the turbo (As Scott Mo. suggested).

My questions are this. What are my options? What are the advantages to a two
piece exhaust manifold? How much are they? Is anyone selling one?

Next question: I have the head from a 5ktq laying around...Is it possible to
swap these two heads and is there any benefits to doing so?

Any other comments or suggestions will be happily accepted (even sympathy).

Thanks,
Scott
