As an electronics engineer, I'm not really qualified to lecture on fluid dynamics. However, I do read from a source who is and his recommendation on turbo manifolds is to keep the runners _short_ and use a material that will not transfer heat out quickly. With those guidelines, the cast manifold isn't looking too bad. With HPC thermal barrier coatings it would look even better.gt_turbo":2wjwubik said:any engineers out there care to explain what an optimal manifold should look like for turbos? also does this manifold clock the turbo down?
