It is t4. Im sure they can flange it for t3 though. Why dont you want t4? The kit is super nice, fitment is awesome and easy to work on. Well worth the money, If you ask me the price is actually a steal. Are you local to me? I think you are because your name looks familiar from the metro section. If so feel free to check it out and take a ride in it. Promise the decision will be made after a ride.
i go to humpday meet lot about a year ago..
i think u know me, i am the only asian guy with long hair at the meet, any idea?

A tubular log manifold has very short runners and the size of those runners internally aren't very large to flow great amounts of exhaust gases. Not only that but the size of the tubing used on the tubular log manifold can reduce the size of the inlet going into the turbo also which can restrict the flow. Also, the exhaust pulses with a tubular log manifold run into eachother greatly reducing it's efficiency.
Have you ever seen the Inline cast manifold? It has longer runners and the size of the exhaust openings are huge compared to any tubular manifold which helps it tremendously. However, it does have the same problem with exhaust pulses running into eachother. But with all the other things I've mentioned about it, it's definitely a better piece than your standard tubular log with no collector. The Mini Me has this collector, along with all other tubular manifolds with the exception on the log.

And yes, i have seen an inline manifold as i used to own one lol.
You can say all you want about the manifolds, but the truth is the pfab really hasnt been tried out yet. One car has tried it, and made awesome power. I plan to give it a shot, i used to have the inline and well see the difference. If im not happy, ill order the EL manifold as it puts the turbo in almost the exact same place so little modification will be needed.

This is the HOTTEST set-up on the market that I have seen.
Now just picture that with a twin scroll on there.
Hmmm...Tasty!

I'm considering this setup, does anyone have any info or feedback on this V-band equal length besides what's available on their website? PFab chime in?

Yup, this is what I have seen too. Actually we made 50whp more with 6psi less of boost.
I originally made 420whp at 18psi with my old log manifold. I made 425whp at 11psi with the full-race, and made an additional 60-70 horsepower across the board at the same psi i did before. Getting an efficient manfold was the best think i ever did for my car.

i gained 65-75whp at the same boost pressure from going from a log manifold to a full-race manifold (all things staying the same except for manifold).
