Yes, I have definitely seen their site.  They do list it, as do the web sites of at least 30 of their distributors.  Unfortunately, none of them see to keep any HKS stuff in stock, the place most orders when needed.  Maybe I will call HKS and see if they know of anyone who did carry a lot of inventory.

Have you actually gone to www.HKSUSA.com ? I was looking at their site and it seemed that they still had them listed (with and without wastegage) with dealer references. I think that it is pretty poor form to list something on your website that is discontinued.
 
I was able to get a cast iron manifold WITH wastegate attachment off of ebay the other day (waiting on it to get here)... I hope that wasn't you that I sniped...

I have been trying to find find a manifold for my TO4 turbo for the last several months.  I even have 2 TO4 turbos but no sutable manifold.  Because of my engine mount, space is very tight.  However, I am pretty sure that the HKS cast iron manifold WITHOUT the provision for a waste gate will work well.

The problem is that HKS has stopped making them, and I can't find anyone who has them in stock.  I know there must be a bunch of them out there.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get my hands on one?

Also, I think I am going to install a cocktpit controllable check valve on the oil supply to the turbo.  Someone mentioned using a mechanal valve, but I was thinking of something electrical.  Any ideas on a sutable valve?
