B230 90+ turbo exhaust manifold

Mine is cracked in two places, anyone got one that isn't?

Alternatively, recommendations for welding repairs gratefully received.

(Cue comments about hen's teeth, unicorn droppings, etc...)

TIA.

For welding it will need to be heated up a lot, welded and then put in a sand bath and left to cool down over several days as it is cast. You could try drilling the cracks at each end then mig welding but it will probably crack again.
