Hey guys if you took a basic log manifold, like the one shown below, and put a double sided ramp in the middle of the outlet flange.Kinda of like this __/\__ so the flow from both sides are pushed up into the turbo instead of just following the path of least resistance and being forced to go 90 degrees into the turbo. It seem to me that you could improve the flow pretty good with a small ramp.

What do you guys think ??

kinda like a mini-collector. it makes sense, but how do you weld it inside the tube?

Makes sense to me, although youll have to be careful to make sure there is plenty of overall area for the gasses to flow through. Restricting the diameter of the pipe in half is probably just as bad as forcing the gasses to make that 90* angle...

I would make sure the base of the ramp is no wider than half the diameter of the turbo flange opening and no taller then say 3/4 of the pipe diameter. All while trying to make the slope fo the ramp as smooth and gradual as possible.
