Depends how much 'lack of boost' there is. If theres no boost at all then i don't think the manifold is to blame...
swanny could only manage about 5psi when her manifold-turbo studs were naffed.
could be dodgey gaskets, cracked manifold, cracked wastegate housing(less noisey).

Lol I have personal experience with this problem at the moment.
Gaskets are easy to change but not if the head studs are naffed - which will need head off and repair, not expensive just an irritating job for what seems quite comical.
I am still managing about 12psi athough she is laggier than before and sounds like a tank! If there is no boost I would suspect another problem.
If you need a manifold I have one in top condition. Let me know if you need it. Located in st Albans. Just drop me a tx 07920103637
