I can't wait for the results David. I don't think you can go wrong with either the FR or RnR mani.

it will be interesting to see the results, as these are two completely different manifold designs

RnR is a 4->1->2->1
Full Race is a 4->2->1

RnR uses a 1.61" diameter Primary
Full Race uses a smaller diameter Primary

Both have somewhat similar runner lengths and comparable merge collector entry angles.

Overall -- two totally different manifolds, should result in two totally different powerbands. Im very excited to see the results, it should answer a lot of questions in my mind.

edit: Out of curiosity, has there ever been a test of a cast unported manifold vs a cast ported manifold?

Kind of. Buschur did a comparo between a ported exhaust mani, turbo hotside and 02 housing versus stock non-ported. I think it was like 20 whp on a dynojet, IIRC.

He has not done a straight ported/non-ported exhaust mani only comparison though, I don't think.

oic interesting. maybe that wont be a good idea then. maybe i'll just stick with a TME turbo then.

to be perfectly honest, the stock turbo has impressed me VERY much. I would take care of everything but the turbo for now, ie: cams, ems, injectors, etc etc and then once all the leg work and testing is figured out regarding which manifold which turbo which turbine housing, which compressor wheel, etc, then spend the money

right now there are a lot of turbos and manifolds with questionable gains. Wait it out, in a few weeks there will be a lot of questions answered.
