Is this "hybrid" any good?

HKS cast manifold + T60-1 A/R 1.00 divided

I know if I go with that setup I wont gain anything of the divided housing but is this something to even consider?

 

It will work but..... expect spool to be way slower then if you had a proper divided manifold and expect spool to be slower then a non-divided turbine with the non-divided manifold. It may be laggy dependant on your ports and other factors. For what its worth, you can get a replacement turbine in a open valute (non-divided) .96 A/R these days pretty cheap, just replace it (less then $200, maybe a tade more if you get a v-band with it). Also, the disscharge will be in the same place for the most part, so if you decide to run the divided turbine with the non divided manifold, later if you decide the spool up is too slow and get another turbine housing (.81 or .96 A/R) your down pipe will be able to work without modding it as long as the conecting pieces are the same (v-band).

What kind of spool and hp should I expect if I´d go .96 A/R nondivided housing with the HKS cast @15psi?
+350rwhp? more or less.

how about divided manifold + T60-1 1.00 A/R divided housing
How much more hp could I gain with that setup against the fully nondivided setup?
RB street ported engine
etc..
