i know the feeling tho, i've gotta move to a new place here in the next month or so as well....to many issues to rite about, ya kno.
also, you would be shocked at how close thouse hahn dimentions came out to the "perfect" numbers i got from 3 weeks worth of engine sim's.....maybe, just maybe they did some homework.
improper......ehhhh, maybe not improper, just not as well thought out / exceuted as possible.
a grungy little log manifold will get you on the road, thats the way i did it after all. however with in a week or so you want more, and a solid custom manifold is the key to awesome!
the place that did mine off my design is makeing a jig for the manifold, then ill be able to promote it a bit more.
the flow differances are massive between the two, i picked up well over 1000rev's worth of spool time.

you can always spot a ill-thought out turbo system by massive power and no torque OR baller torque and no power.

why you gotta hate lol, i understand that both numbers are important , but like i said it is a cheap mans way to a little bit of power (and cheap wise i dont think the manifolds that bad) , and i will be buying a better turbo when i get my tax refund, everything else is well thought out, and completely ready to install in the car, im just waiting on the exhaust manifold from vulcan , but i just dont have the money for either a better exhaust manifold and or turbo.

just talkin....giveing out the real world info.
i've been thru it all with this car so far.
the turbo car always be pushed, i'd get a manifold before i got a new turbo.
out of all the companies that do turbo for GM's I trust them a bit more... I know a lot of people running their parts and they all rave about em. Car is definitely much more responsive mid rang and top end than it ever was with the old setup. Now if I can just scrounge some money together to get me a good mani for the turbo.... I'll be happy.
i'll leave it at that.
as for the manifold, i'm truly excited for mine now that i know the numbers all match up.
i'm stealing the A/W IC core from my buddies drag teggy for continued sleeper look and to keep my beloved A/W set up/
