A log manifold is gona release less heat into the engine, so lower underhood temps, and its also gona improve spool times, unless you have a built motor (even if you do) a equal length tubular is not needed.

well I've seen a lot of people that talk about them but never really say weather they were good or not.thats why I asked cause even if everybody said they were junk I would still try an use it .remember its a home made turbo if I only got 2 lbs of boost its still more then what I have now an there always room for improvement.

yeah man, they are good. there was a comparison awhile back on log vs equal length. on a car with like 400hp with a log mani made something like 430hp with a equal lenght.
^ not exact numbers because i was prett hammered when i read it, but thats the idea. logs are good.

I love my log style...I still had to ditch my AC...but that is another subject. it works fine...it was 200$ shipped and it was EWG ready and had a bung for the EGT. Considering how obnoxious it is trying to find a manifold for an F22b1 engine...I took the opportunity...especially since I dont have access to a shop that welds worth a crap...

Does any one have a "DIY log mani How To" web page put together? I know JGS will sell you the parts, but there has got to be places to buy the T's and 45º for cheaper. Will just regular hard ware store parts weld up nice?

You can get the T's and elbows from McMaster.com then all you need is the turbo plate, manifold plate and a riser but that is optional. I chose to use a riser as I kept my a/c. It turned out decent just make sure you get ALL the same material. I ordered everything in el cheapo Mild steel but forgot an elbow for my external WG. All the local plumbing shop had was stainless so trying to weld it on with the WRONG rod was a bitch lol. Building it is pretty straight forward. If ya can't figure it out SELL ALL OF YOUR TURBO ----!!
My HMT style a/c compatable log mani half stainless half mild hah!
