Best Manifold (I've searched, please dont' flame)

[andrave]

Ok OK I have read a million old posts from searching and I don't want the ideal "best" manifold, that turbular T04 one that doesn't seem to exist and costs more than my car.I just want the best manifold for a 250 hp motor that will let me upgrade over a year or two to maybe 400, and with price factored in.I was inches away from a revhard manifold then read some posts that a tangenital to4, especialy To4e, wouldn't fit well and that dulled my excitement.The JG tools tubular one just looks a little ghetto. I have seen that a few of you are using it and posting decent numbers though, so how is that working?Pretty much I wanna know what manifold you got, what turbo you have on it, how it fits, how you like it, and what you would change if you could do it differently.

well I dont have one yet, but I'm planning on going with the JGS Tools manafold. I know its ghetto looking and all that - plus it's log style - but I just dont care. I cant see myself paying $400-$600 MORE for a manfold that still might be iffy as far as cracking, fittment, etc. The JGS comes with flanges specifically made to fit your turbo, and you can mount them wherever on the mani you want- so it'll fit your car perfectly as well. Plus I figure if it breaks, hell, I can buy THREE more before I even come close to the price of some other manfolds. Screw it, Im goin JGS.
