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!
