Default Got rid of my old manifold

i'm happier with the log because of turbo placement

What make you decided to go with the log style, The old equal lenght look pretty good. Did you noticed the decreased in spool time since you have a log manifold now? Killer set-up

log manifolds actually increase spool up time, just don't make as much power

the old mani would let boost creep badly so i set boost lower than i wanted and the wastegate opening killed spool up time
the wastegate only really vents off two cyl
so the log actually comes on about 700rpm sooner
but i still need a bigger wastegate

i made it
i used a stainless doughnut to make the first part the i used 3" jbends to make the rest
i don't remember where i got the V-band flange kit
i think it came from racecar supply
the dump tube is made out of a H22 manifold (talk about making due with what i had)

Polk performance made my original mani and it is good quality, but the collector had too much angle in it
and i made this manifold
this log is made out of schedule 20 ss weldells
because it was all i could get at the time
and the dropdown is made out of a piece of ss sch20 straight that i beat out
