Easy to build, strong. Probably dont flow as well as a equal length manifold. I have built one like that for a SR20, worked fine.

Your equal length manifold will always be better.

However for the turbo size you will be running and Im sure you are looking for min lag and quick response....then this log manifold would work great for you.

Go for it and try it.....Sure it wont hurt, and wont be that expensive project if it doesnt work.

Allot of front wheel drive turbo cars run these log manifolds because of space restictions. And some of them make huge power!
