Missing some information on throttle position and gear choice for that speed.

Why did you choose speed instead of RPM on the X axis?

Did you remap for both manifolds? The HP difference seems exaggerated.

Nonbiased observer,

I wonder in this, which would be a nice intake manifold for the stock turbo, one of them should definately give at least 20 whp.

Check out this custom manifold being made from an OEM piece from a VW 1.8T:

Anyone care to try this with the OEM Evo manifold?

I am wondering how much more does the magnus intake fall off at the extreme high end compared to the other manifold? I noticed you let off the magnus much sooner... does it lose a bunch of power at top? For a race car people should be able to see the true difference. How often are the drag cars at 5k?

Id be very curious to see if the magnus drops off at 8k+ I have the magnus on my car and it works great for me but I am still curious to try to see the real difference.
