I've always wondered how effective splitting one of the runners to make it plumb up for a divided housing would be. Any more info on this?

What's the largest turbo you can put on that manifold? Where is the placement for the wastegate and what size wastegate fits on that manifold?

I too am wondering about the flow characteristics. I would think re-amemiya would have the knowledge and equipment to build it so its equal, but how much does it matter if it goes into one right away anyway? I don't see there being that big of an improvement (if any) over a nice three way collector.

Almost all of the manifolds I have seen in Japan are designed this way.. I will post some pics of another one later tonight..

I like the design and will be building mine up like this very SOON!!

Looks nice but I don't think the performance gained would be worth it's cost since it's a turbo manifold. Now it does look well built and durable.

Interesting. However probably not worth all the extra time. I think you would be better off with something with more gentle bends..

Interesting... I guess I would say that is how I was planning to build my 20b manifold. Sadly though, the ONLY two things I have been doing with my 20b project are planning... and talking

Interesting to see that other people are doing it though.
