Wanted some opinions on this. It's a S5 turbo manifold. Before starting a rebuild the engine had no issues with leaks. My intention is to slap it back on and milk as much life out of the manifold as possible.

I've seen some people get similar cracks welded. But from what I've been told those welds are often times more problematic than the crack they were supposed to fix.
