5 months since release and even longer since inception and absolutely ZERO n/a data.

Color me disappointed.
As a potential customer this just makes me think there are no gains to be had with a n/a setup so its trying to be forgotten about.
I'm sure this isn't the case but that's sure what it seems like.

Just want to point out that no one cares about N/A performance when it comes to this manifold. Let it sink in guys.

Except all the people asking about it....

Except the 6 previous posts. And a few before those too.

like another post said... except for all those that are asking about it. Also I am sure there those like me who want to increase power and stay NA for now and go FI later when the bank account allows it.

No update on this? A dyno or some chart...or even driving impressions.

Sounds like you have irresponsible micro transaction based modification habits. Buying a manifold to make 2-5WHP NA and then make gains that are likely not something in the department you need for FI for about 1/3-1/4 the price of a FI kit... My car "de-tuned" at 10PSI less than i used to run makes well into the 400WHP range with a stock manifold. So if this increases power at the same PSI level thats cool and all but... I can just turn my turbo pressure up... Why would I spend that much on a manifold? Unless I'm limited on top end power (I'm not aiming for 800+WHP) or it made my turbo spool significantly faster spending a significant dollar amount on a manifold to get a few HP when maxing my turbo out (which I am not) is meaningless.

Also are you planning on building your motor? otherwise your limited by the fuel type... and even then your transmission & internals will still be limited before you are manifold limited.

Im just trying to point out that people who buy parts that you use for "end game" FI setups BEFORE they go FI are wasting their money. Open a savings account and buy a turbo kit instead. Substantially better bang for the buck.

Nice story bro!


BUT not everyone wants to go forced induction. Some like to stay NA and build on a NA platform! By your judgement, I should say, why not get a turbo car already instead of spending money on the kit with stock internals!

People should buy a turbo car in the first place I 100% agree. i personally like wrenching and building things and there wasn't a small light turbo car with an excessive power to weight ratio on the market for me... So I built one.... With forged internals.

Spoke with Justin last Wednesday while ordering some more parts. They still don't have any of the manifolds instock, nor had an eta.
@ShadowSeraph look at nelsmar's reply this way. By the time you buy the intake manifold, install it and have your car re-tuned, you will already have 1/2 the cost for the FBM base kit

Then it is a good thing the person he was specifically replying to said he was wanting to go turbo when his finances allow.

Posting simply to quote this... Hilarious (Partly due to self-recognized guilt of this very action) and eloquently put!
