turbo mani installed-loss of power?

[benefitx]

so after i have installed my tubular manifold on a t25 (s13 sr) , i feel sort of like a loss of power...not really "loss" but with the stock mani you would definetly feel when boost came in...but after the tubular mani it doesnt really feel like your "in" boost although the gauge is reading 10psi...i dont know if its just me , its hard to explain ...is this normal? maybe boost is coming in alot sooner so its not as overwhelming as opposed to coming in at 3.5k?

from wat i've read the stock manifold will make the turbo give u the boost all at once or something like that that's why u feel it like that. with the tubular manifold its more linear and smoother. i do believe that u'll get slightly faster peak boost with the tubular though. i searched google for this answer a while back, u can try to double check

boost comes in almost at 2500 now...before it would be around 32-3400 and it would hit hard...i guess its just my imaginaciones

What manifold did you get? Specs on them?

Equal length manifolds suck with the stock turbo, loose a lot of low end and don't have the turbo to actually use the better top end flow.

it lets u modulate the psi with a aftermarket better than a stock mani. its a good thing dont worry
