According to Mike Kojima, log manifolds don't limit the horsepower on a turbocharged motor until around 400hp. Mike Kojima doesn't believe in the backpressure theory either, i remember reading a sport compact car once and they had an open downpipe sentra NA and it made more power than when it had an exhaust system. But mike kojima is a weirdass.
You need some kind of backpressure especially on mostly stock NA engines...

Exhaust is gas flow, heat and a pressure wave. All of the designs are a compromise - logs hold the heat better, equal length distribute the pulses at more even time spacings and have better gas flow.
From what I've read, for a yutz like me at 7 - 10 psi it makes no real difference. When you start really going ***** out, like 300+ HP, the difference might be like 5Hp or something. You could probably get more by porting the head or something.

what you guys are forgetting is that most turboed engines run about 30-50 psi of exhaust gas into the turbine inlet of the turbo, so if you have bigger piping and more flow and velocity out of the turbo (its a velocity vs flow problem) you have to have enough volume in the runners that it isnt restrictive but they cant be soo big that youre losing velocity all over the place, with a log manifold and no real collector, the velocity is all messed up because the exhaust gas has to make sharp 90* turns and isnt forced primarily into the turbo (as opposed to other runners etc) so its not as efficient, whereas an efficient collector on a race manifold smooths out the sharp turns and prevents a loss in velocity and makes more power due to the better scavaging
