^why are you so set on an afi manifold???
buy a mase manifold or something. or hell, stick with your pfab log and make your goal with 9-11 psi.
i dont see why you need a different one other than it will look cooler? if you have one that will do exactly what you want, why change it?

The manifold I have now made 360 on 13 PSI, obviously something in my setup is faulty. Why keep my manifold when I can buy a better one and have better results?

MCB, if it is an true Ebay turbo then I would probaly go ahead and change it out. And I guess if you want more power down the road and need a new turbo then you should just buy one that will mate to the manifold of your choice.
With that said, there is not a whole lot wrong with using a pfab log, just getting a new 60-1 gt30/35 5857/6265 BB only. And calling it a day, way less fabrication and costs of other parts. If you want a bit more power you could use e85 or meth. If it were me, I would get a 60-1 or gt3076 and bolt it on get a good tune and have some fun.
Good luck with your build.

a shitty turbo is like a shitty manifold, no amount of tuning can fix it or make good numbers. get a new turbo and injectors and a tune. thats really all you need. possibly a new dp for the turbo.
as for name whoring, who gives a shit what its called. if youre making power and beating most cars; you can call it a lollipop mani for all i care.

Wouldn't hurt to invest tho. I have two cars so I have time to save money and build the car properly.

thats the thing. a log is a "proper" mani for those goals. you dont need a big ELT mani for a t3 60-1 to flow some air. if you're going with a ELT, buy a t4 gt30R. other than that, stick with your mani and follow along the path i listed above to get to your 400whp mark.
