Looks pretty good, similar to the SSA manifold actually. You should ALWAYS have a bracket to support the weight of the turbo with any setup. Not something complicated, a little bracket works. My bracket goes from one of the exhaust housing bolt to the dipstick bolt in the block, so it's L shaped. Pretty simple, works well, and the cheap SSA manifold is holding perfectly with it.

Mine has not rusted. If it's stainless steel it shouldn't rust. Unless the port plate is made out of steel then that part will rust. Mine hasn't and it looks like steel.

obx turbo pictured on ebay is for the twin turbo version.
Send him a pm message, if the manifold is for a single turbo and he just used the wrong picture.
My manifold was from ebay trader ssautochrome, very cheap $120 US
I had to get the tubo adapter changed from a T3 to a T28, so I could bolt on the garrett gt28rs.
My turbocharged hyundai works no problems.
I've seen the Manifolds to suit my car priced at $599 US.
If these expensive manifolds guarantees substanstial HP gains of more than 80HP, then I'll change the manifold very quickly.

Stainless steel DOES rust! It just takes a while and doesn't rust as quickly.
