Default Turbo Manifold question

I was wondering if the more expensive turbo manifolds like the ram horn ones are worth the extra money *compared to something simple like a greddy kit manifold"? Also, is a 60mm exhaust too small for a turboed car? I have a 4-1 jdm SS header, would it be too hard/worth it to modify that to a turbo collector? Thanks

Anything is possible with the right amount of money. Ram horns make more peak power, so if you want bigger hp numbers they are worth the extra 200-500 bucks compared to a log. You need to be more specific what are you comparing the ramhorn to a log, top mount, or a custom manifold?

yes a ramhorn is worth the extra money compared to a greddy turbo manifold. Logs will spool faster, but most quality ramhorns will totally outperform the greddy unit
