After quite a lot of consideration I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a 16G turbo on my other car. I'm actually erring towards a small 16G but the EVO III 16G is so cheap it is hard to ignore.
I realize bang for your buck is something that most of you guys consider when looking at a manifold to pair with a turbo like this which doesn't produce a whole lot of power and isn't that expensive. Nonetheless I would still like to know which of the following will offer me the best in terms of spool up and overall power to make the most of any setup I go with.
So I am considering: -
(1) EVO III exhaust manifold;
(2) FP Race Manifold;
(3) Tubular equal length runner manifold.
Spool up is my primary concern on this car, hence the reason I erred towards the small 16G. So even though you might say a tubular manifold is not worth the money, I would like to know if it will make an appreciable difference. I'd also like you to take into account other things that I could spend money on. For instance a tubular header might cost $1500 whereas the FP manifold is under $300. So would an FP manifold extrude honed, port matched and ceramic coated net me better results for the money?
Please discuss!
