You hit upon the Pro that is key for you

Affordability and great for first time/DIY projects.

Since you stated you couldn't afford an EQ/ram/etc.... just go that route and you'll be fine. Depending on B/D though... you do have options of aftermarket Cast manifolds (B) and oem HF manfolds(D).

logs also offer quicker spool times

with a log versus an equal length manifold, your turbo will spool up much quicker with the log style manifold but you will lack the stronger top end power that the equal length manifold offers. for the price, its a great manifold until you can get that equal length manifold

You dont even know what he is using the car for. If this car is being built for the street A log manifold could be right up his alley. Most of his time will be in the lower and mid RPM Band. Id suggest and Inline Pro Manifold because you can probably find a used one cheap, they are proven, and they have a lifetime warranty. Spoollin Performance also does some nice work and people have had good things to say about phils products.

I have an equal length that I bought about a year ago, I wish I would have went with a log now because its for a regularly driven car, and a log manifold would be fine for my ultimate 350whp goal. Better spool and less heat radiation

either way I am sure I will be plenty happy

The car will be regularly driven and Im hoping to push nothing more than 300WHP . Im planning to pick up Spooling Performance Log Manifold kit with 3" DP. From what I heard he has great mani's.
