Well, It is my damn money to waste and who says that in I wont own this car for long enough to build the engine and do transmission upgrades. Anyone can call anything another person does with their money a "waste". I suppose anyone who goes a full effort NA build, you would call a "waste" too then.

"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." <<< DA F**k is the difference before or after you go FI.. the $ amount is the same... now to move on from that moot point. Whatever man...

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.
