I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of any of these comming out yet? Since we have seen that the best manifold for the stock turbo is the ported stocker and the only surpassing that, being the Full-Race...I was wondering why more companies aren't making something like this? I think there would be a large market for them considering the cost for the consumer would be much cheaper and I think the gains would be up there with the Full-Race if not better with a better spool. Maybe something like what FP makes for the DSM's?

 

Why? cast for cast, just keep the stock one

 

You answered your own question by reaffirming, once again, that "the best manifold for the stock turbo is the ported stocker..". In light of this why would any company go to the expense of designing, making patterns, casting and machining a cast manifold for the 16G if we already have stockers which we can send in to have ported for a modest fee?

 

see Muse manifolds.. Cast stock with ported flange , good price and gives you the ability to port match gaskets w/o taking your maifold off to do it.

 

are muse manifolds really stock parts or stock-like parts?

 

The muse manifolds are a cast of a ported OEM manifold. They are made from ni-resist cast iron and come with a lifetime warranty against cracking.

 

PORT the oem unit, best for the stock turbo.

 

Why port the stock unit when it cost more then the muse manifold which is a brand new manifold?

 

Porting doesn't cost anything if you own an air compressor and some porting bits.

 

would a ported stock manfiold be good for a bbk full turbo? or would it be better to get a tubular manifold?
