i'm wondering why turbo manifolds are so expensive? it doesn't look like it's any more difficult to manufacture than a regular header. $700 is just plain nuts imho!
Again, I agree with Sundowner, but just want to add that due to the intense heat the turbo generates, these manifolds need to be made from stainless steel, and should really be TIG welded, and both of these add to the expense. The other thing that makes the LC manifold so pricey is the added work of welding up a downpipe and external wastegate dump pipe. When you buy the LC manifold, you get three pieces, and they all need to fit around the turbo properly. This, coupled with low volume, makes for a pricey piece.
Someday, if I get inspired, I'll post a list of all the places that offer turbo manifolds for this engine. In addition to the places that Sundowner listed, I know a few more that offer some innovative turbo manifolds for this motor. None are less than $400-$500, but there is probably more variety out there than folks realize.
Also, one more option that should be considered for the truly budget minded is using the stock 22RE manifold with a simple J pipe -- the low side of the J connects to the bottom of the 22RE manifold, while the turbo site on top of the tall side. Gery Meissner, who had a 250 rwhp turbo Celica, ran this setup with great results. This approach requires very good bracing (including an allowance for heat expansion), but otherwise works well, and puts the turbo on top where it's easier to access.
