Been driving with an absolutely f*cked mani for a few months, apart from the extra dirt didn't notice any problems!

so what happens if a piece of the mani goes into the turbo will that not damage the turbo.... i think it will but this depends on how badly cracked it is

Well it does crack but I don't think any pieces are going in to the Turbo, it's more like windscreen IMHO, crack but no pieces......
Believe me or not I've had a really badly cracked in a few places standard mani and replaced it to WEPR and didn't notice any difference in performance afterwards.........
