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.
