best turbo manifold for the stock turbo

I know that DC one, I asked you about it a while back. It's like $3xx. I thought the idea of any A/M exhaust mani would not be worth the extra price, DC, Maxford, ect.
One of the main points I was trying to get across was that the DC, or any other 'racey' exhaust manifold wouldn't produce much if any more gain on a 20g-9 than on a stock turbo. Who's to say what a matched, $900 manifold would do when coupled with a huge snail.... but basically that from stock turbo to 20g-9 isn't a huge jump, and wouldn't be with whp gained from an a/m mani.
FYI, a friend of mine who was running the DC sports manifold just cracked a couple of weeks ago. he was still using the stock O2 housing
you will never face this issue with a stock manifold.

At Buschur, yes, they do get backed up, because they don't send you back your parts. They keep parts pre-coated and pre-ported so that they can send you a replacement the moment yours arrive. Then, you get your parts and install them right away while they spend all the time getting the porting and coating done on the parts you sent. When the shelves are empty from tons of people having this done, they have to wait on their parts to come back from the coating place.
In my case, they had plenty on the shelves, so I sent mine Monday, they got there Wednesday, Nick immediately packaged and shipped me 3 pre-ported/pre-coated parts in my same box, and they arrived on Friday. 4-day turnaround using that method, whereas if everyone had to wait on the porting and coating of their own parts each time, it would take much longer.

thanks for the info.
