xpost from AZ, +27hp from an equal length header on a KO4
Are our headers that much of a restriction?<ul><li><a href="http://www.audizine.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=32368&FORUM_ID=71&CAT_I D=3&Forum_Title=3%2E+B6+A4&Topic_Title=Equ al+length+tubular+header++for+1%2E8T+engine">Linky </a></li></ul>

Something doesn't seem right....
yes, the stock exhaust manifold is puny, and probably restrictive at higher boost levels, but above 6000RPM, where a less restrictive manifold should show the most gain, it shows none.
It's almost as if the boost level was increased in the mid range.
Plus the initial run was pretty smooth, but the after run is lumpy, almost like it's surging (detonation from too much boost?)
I think the money would be better spent on a bigger turbo
