That's interesting.
They offer porting for the turbine housing for an additional $95.
Is this something specific to FP turbos? I'll be running this with a BBK Full.

EDIT: CBRE could probably port your hotside as well.

I must say this new FP cast manifold is almost a reason for me to get another Evo. I have one here I ported for the guys at TPG to test. Couple of things, 1. it will never crack! 2. the design is amazing, thick runner walls to hold in the heat, super nice collector area vs factory manifold. Once this thing is out I see no reason to run anything else. Good job FP as usual!

Noah,
You've just caught an error for me
It should say Manifold Porting and not Turbine Housing Porting, I just wrote the wrong thing! I will get that correct, however, what the porting includes is port matching the manifold outlet where it meets the turbocharger and it smooths the collector just slightly. If you would like this added, please let me know.
Thank you,

However right out of the box it was pretty damn good, only issue was the one runner needs to be ground down to get the front turbo flanged bolt in.Which I'm Sure will be addressed before release. After that we sent the manifold over to Curt Brown Racing and let him have at it. What we got back was hands down the best bang for the buck out there.
We didnt feel the need to run the car ***** out , so all runs were done in 3rd gear at 34PSI of boost. I was very impressed with how consistent the power was, run after run there was little to no loss in spool or mid range power or torque over the MAP tubular manifold, and we saw gains of 10whp and 10wtq! For a cast bolt on manifold that fits great, looks stock, and is incredibly cost effective, I think it's a no brainer which way to go. I really did not expect to see any power gains out of this manifold and I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly figured we had maxed out the current set up ,but to be able to add an extra 10WHP and 10WTQ on a car that we will be chasing down a long standing record in a few weeks is huge and I can't thank Forced Performance Turbochargers and Curt Brown Racing enough for the opportunity to test this manifold.
If you're looking to maximize your "stock flanged" turbo set up from mild to all out pushing the limits this is the manifold for you.
