the greddy manifold is designed in such a way that it has a bit of a collector on it and the cylinders don't fire directly at each other, in theory making it better than a standard log manifold.
This pfab manifold looks to have taken a step backwards and now has cylinders 1 and 4 firing directly at each other. I would almost expect this manifold to perform worse.
I wasn't aware there was a flow issue with the greddy manifold, if anything I would think it was the tiny turbo.

It just didn't seem like it would make a big difference, the only real change seemingly is the elongated runners. Who knows though?

Someone make a bottom mount tubular manifold to replace the greddy one. i realize the turbo is small but i want a small turbo because i want instant boost response and not necessarily big horsepower

why do you feel the need to replace the manifold on the greddy kit? Do you intend to keep the same turbo? A different manifold isn't going magically make that turbo produce more HP, the turbo is pretty much the limiting factor of the greddy kit isn't it?
If you want a little more power the solution is to do one of the turbo upgrades other people have pioneered which allow for a little more top end but still retain the greddy manifold and DP.

i know. gt3071 with an internal wastegate will fit. i thought a better manifold would allow it to make the same power but lower the boost pressure.
i talked to another member with the pfab manifold that said it made a difference.

a gt3071 would do that and it fits your current manifold, lol

The greddy manifold is the worst part of the kit IMO.
The ports are super tiny when I compared it to my inline log.
