Hey all, first post here.
I'm currently piecing together a tubular turbo manifold, I've picked up all the necessary bits.
It's for a turbo MX5 drift car, it's been turbo for a few years now running a Subaru TD04.
When looking at typical tubular manifolds on offer for sale, some seem to keep the runners in order of the firing order 1-3-4-2, others don't.
Now the only benefit to not having the runners match the firing order is it appears to be a bit easier and neater for routing the piping.
My question is, how much does this matter?
Being a Subaru flange, there's no need to worry about divided flanges.
I intend to run this manifold with my current setup for a while to see how it holds up and eventually put a slightly larger turbo on and a power target around 300ish.
Any info with regards to this aspect of the design of turbo manifolds would be appreciated.
