Check the Hyper Rev book on Blade's site. I don't know if he's copied that section yet. I _think_ bozz speed and HKS do such manifolds.
Not that much of a gain I think with the standard turbo though... although could be if you run short bursts of very high boost

I'd bet money they don't make it themselves but buy it from Japan, as all they're parts...

By the way - The RC kit looks VERY MUCH LIKE the Hayward and Scott Manifold - Which is indeed made in The UK

Same price. Funny thing is H&S suggest a 8 BHP increase, RC suggest a 20BHP increase!!! I guess they are at a higher altitude than H&S so this may explain the difference

In the end it comes down to how you set the car up, but 20bhp rise from only a manifold is a very BIG lie!!! 8 bhp is probably also on the optimistic side.

EGT?

Do any of those manifolds have taps for an EGT gauge?
I'd hate to tap in myself on a non stock manifold.

The EGT gauge is usually tapped in after the turbo, cause of the danger of parts flying into the turbine. There are aftermarket parts which have readymade holes
