Right, I know that, but I assumed Sam meant turbo manifold.

I get the above numbers from compuatics thread with his spool problems.

That i am not sure about, Paul also has a very smooth 3" DP which helps a ton.

so to maximize net power you can either raise the gross or lower the losses.

I can assure they that we have had ZERO cracking issues with this model. We once had a manifold crack with one of our old tubular manifolds and it was because the customer put relief cuts in the manifold. We don't recommend this with a tubular!

I don't get if this is a sarcastic comment.... but also I cannot believe all that power was made with ONLY an exhaust swap....

How much boost are you running in those graphs?

Thanks

there was also headwork performed, but otherwise the setup was the same, just added an exhaust and tuned the fuel better. spark map was identical.

lower run was 12psi flat, better run was a 13psi spike, then dropped to 10psi, then linearly back to 13psi.

If you want maximum spool response get the 54, want more top end and higher hp get the 60. If I was buying another turbo, id get a 54.

I know of one person that is using that intake manifold. Keep in mind that you wont have EGR anymore with it. I also firmly believe it does not improve anything, just bling. Youre already force feeding the air, a free flowing manifold wont produce any benefits.
