Been reading the threads here and for the good old T3/TO4E turbo it looks like we currently have 3 choices.

FMAX original manifold: ~$500
F-MAX Tubular Manifold: $1500
Protech Engineering Tubular manifold: $750

Which is the best bang for the buck? What kind of powerband differences do these have? Does one have better topend than bottom end power and vice versa? How do I choose?

Ben,

Hotshot also has their "old" manifold, which has a T3 flange. I don't know how well a T3/T4 will fit on it. I heard that they also are making a new equal length one as well.

This is the first time I have heard of this. Can someone point me to where I can find more info? Thanks.

I believe it's the manifold in this thread:

Jacen99SE, The Protecengineering manifold, is a true equal length tubular manifold made of 304 stainless steel tubing cnc flanges and purged for strength reliability and beauty, the manifold is coated with a Jet hot coating in the picture which is good up to 1800 degs, a range a turbo car will never see unless its formula one

It retails for about 750.

Oh, I see. I have seen the other thread, I just didn't know that was a "Protech".
