A lower boost tune, e.g. a 20 psi peak boost tune with a 10 psi turbine pressure might actually see more benefit because the improved efficiency of the manifold might matter more. Or alternatively, an FP Black where the restriction at the turbine is less than my BBK might see more benefit than what I saw.

We don't really focus on arbitrary dyno numbers that can be inflated/deflated at a whim, we focus on stuff that can't lie.
Like back pressure testing and CFD data. In both of these test our manifold has shown to perform better in every conceivable metric. We wouldn't waste out time spending tens of thousands of dollars in tooling and R&D if it wasn't better than a stock ported manifold.
As for what turbo would benefit from this manifold, all the way from Stock to the Black would benefit from it.

FP makes awesome products, it just seems kinda douchey to say "It's awesome, just buy it"

Can you prove to me that it's better than a stock ported manifold? How can you say that when you don't have ANY data. NONE. Don't try and bull**** me Jerry.

CFD is only as good as it's inputs... garbage in garbage out. back pressure just tells you back pressure, it doesn't tell you dyno numbers. We didn't get CFD or Backpressure data... OR dyno plots. We got a picture of a part that fits on the car.

Would I replace a perfectly good factory manifold with one? Probably not. But if I wanted to go back to a stock frame setup or if I had a cracked stock one, I'd buy this before I picked up a used stocker.
I'd also go this way before I did a stock frame welded pipe manifold. "Stock Framed" is already a comprimise, might as well maintain the heat shields and (likely) higher reliability of a cast piece.
