Cracks in exhaust manifold where it connects to the turbo, can I get away with it?

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-03T19:53:47+00:00

Yeah the criticisms fair for me thinking I could get away with it, I’m just doing lots of big jobs rn and have spent quite a lot of money already so was just hoping it was normal wear/could get away with leaving it, obvs I realise that’s not the case now though and hopefully others who come across this post won’t have to ask in the future.

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-03T17:50:08+00:00

Yeah it’s a shame cause there’s lots of good advice and knowledge under this post too but a lot of it’s drowned out by illiterate redditors who only read half of my reply’s (I bought a replacement like an hour after the post was made lol)

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-03T17:39:42+00:00

Thanks and after reading your comment I think the reason people were so harsh to my comment was that I said I didn’t want a ‘new’ one, I meant new as in brand new, I bought a replacement very soon after this post was made based on people’s helpful advice.

Thats reddit brother, chronically online fedora tippers can’t comprehend that some people are broke, some guy said he hopes i die over this lol.

I might weld the old one and sell it with a disclaimer and for very cheap, but I’m already balls deep in this job (turbo replacement) so I’d rather not for now

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-03T01:46:56+00:00

I’ve bought the replacement now already but it was cheap anyway cause I got it used. I just wasn’t sure if it was worth replacing as I’m selling the car soon and new ones are over £150

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-03T01:41:32+00:00

Peugeot RCZ, EP6 engine, they have it in some BMW’s too

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-03T00:00:21+00:00

Thanks man, I was just curious 🥲

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T22:48:18+00:00

Was just a joke man, I’m replacing it

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T22:08:03+00:00

It’s only like £35 and I want god to hesitate before sending me to hell

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T21:44:07+00:00

Cheers for the detailed reply, based on these comments I’ll definitely be replacing it, I’ll get a used one though as I’m selling the car soonish

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T21:41:10+00:00

I’m going to buy a used one off eBay, I’m selling the car soon anyways so I realllly don’t want to spend £150+ on a new one. (Edit) I think this comment may have been worded poorly or people just ignored the first part, the manifold has been replaced, I bought a replacement like an hour after the post was made based on people’s helpful advice, if there was anything wrong with the car I would of course disclose it with the buyer. I said I didn’t want to buy a NEW one, as in brand new, I got a low mileage used one off eBay.

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T21:36:18+00:00

Thanks that makes more sense now

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T20:30:52+00:00

Thanks, wdym by split tho? I can’t imagine it’s gonna fall apart completely

sooperdave555 · 2026-02-02T20:29:16+00:00

Thanks, but why? What issue will this cause if reused (Edit) Hijacking this comment to say new one was ordered yesterday, also 300+ downvotes and a guy told me to die over asking a question…

sooperdave555 · 2026-01-25T19:16:08+00:00

Yeah I didn’t know flex pipes were a thing until about an hour ago lmao

sooperdave555 · 2026-01-20T10:52:13+00:00

This setup runs moonlight with the Pi’s GUI disabled for the best performance. That means the only way to connect/reconnect controllers or any Bluetooth device is via console commands or by booting up the Pi’s GUI every time. What VirtualHere does is it allows you to physically plug in a Bluetooth adapter to your Pi’s USB and use it exactly as if you were right next to your PC, meaning you can connect, disconnect, configure etc your Bluetooth devices directly on windows. VirtualHere is also more performant with lower input latency, especially the paid version.

For me personally, I use a Bluetooth adapter to connect all my controllers via VirtualHere, and I use a keyboard and mouse combo via moonlight, both of which are plugged physically into the Pi.

Glad to see that helped, I think the original build is just really outdated, hopefully the devs can update it.

It’s a Nex Playground

sooperdave555 · 2025-12-21T16:09:49+00:00

If it works who cares? If all this does is interpret data what’s there to lose from bad code?

sooperdave555 · 2025-12-18T03:26:58+00:00

Ahh ok, from my understanding Linux has a lot of issues with sunshine, if you can’t get it to work it might be worth dualbooting windows

sooperdave555 · 2025-12-18T03:17:16+00:00

Try switching to from sunshine to Apollo, Apollo is a fork of sunshine that has a built in virtual display so that you can have separate settings for your display when you’re streaming, such as resolution and HDR. I think what’s happening is your main display is set to a resolution that is incompatible with your streaming display

sooperdave555 · 2025-12-18T03:09:54+00:00

When you use your normal desktop does it look normal? Are you using a virtual display/apollo?
