Default It's a POS. I have some side by side pics of my APR Stage 3 mani and the OEM noe at home.
The OME one is a joke - it's tiny to begin with, and flattened too. Horrible design.

Default Because...
The turbo manifold itself isn't the problem... The problem is backpressure after the manifold. In other words, porting the manifold is a waste of your time.
