I don't have much experience with them either as this is my first run with one. I've just been comparing dyno charts done between headers. Turbo manifolds are very similar although ones like the P&L Header, or the FA20club manifold is a hybrid header (NA or FI) based on a V-Band clamp that wraps in the front determining where the pipe goes. The longtube design has also produced pretty substantial numbers tuned.
