In my opinion, JDL has superior quality manifolds and hot parts to many of the current options, including Full Blown. JDL also offer more customization options for their kits, including a bunch of different Precision/Garrett turbos, coatings, housing and flange options, the sky is the limit, really. I really love the UEL rumble and the JDL turbo manifold delivers that superbly. JDL's customer service and support is also excellent so that should be enough reasoning.

I would like to focus my build around street/track, so reliability and heat management are some areas of consideration for me.

Temps have been manageable but I have done a few things to keep them under control. My entire kit is ceramic coated. The manifold, down pipe, turbine housing, charge piping, and even my intercooler has a cerakote on it to help dissipate heat. I have a turbo blanket, vented hood, bigger radiator, 1.3 bar radiator cap, 13 row Mocal engine oil cooler, and foam ducting up front to direct air through all the heat exchangers. So far those have allowed the temps to be stable for 20 minute sessions on track.
There's more I can do to help, like getting the hot parts wrapped with inconel alloy shielding but it's very expensive.
