I already own the manifold. It's one of their first gen pieces. I'm not against upgrading at all, but it really comes down to my financial state at the time this all happens.
Of the products I'll be purchasing from you folks, right now it would be the Megan O2 Housing. However, I will be utilizing your services for the coating and porting of the turbine, and possibly the FR manifold.
Going back to the manifold you have in the works. I really hope there will be dyno tests performed, which compares MAP Tubular vs. MAP ported stocker vs. Full-Race vs. whomever else (Shearer, JMF, etc).
A single car with a generic parts setup (3" TBE, IC pipes, Intake) would be used, with each manifold being fully tuned to show the actual differences in gains. Not fully tuning the baseline and swapping each manifold on without any changes made to the tune. That kind of thing happens all too often and skews results since a/f changes as well as the kind of timing and such which can be maximized. Cams can skew this test as well.
Sorry for going off! LOL
Just as an example, I feel the same way about your O2/Downpipe Recirculated combo vs the traditional O2 Housings such as Megan and TiTek. There really is no way of justifying the purchase without being able to physically show the benefits.
I hope you don't think I'm hating at all. These are just things that I would definitely want to know before buying an item. Especially if I'm spending $500+ on the product. I can easily spend Between $100-$150 knowing I'll be in a ballpark for gains. Going higher than that in regards to price is nothing something a lot of people are willing to do.
