Hey, not really looking for one anymore, sold my MAM Sleeper FMIC, but there was someone on here with a Sleeper Mani for about half that price..
Will it work with the sotck turbo??? Let me know if he still has it cause ill pick it up.
na!!! Saw the numbers kinda sucks but oh well still a nice part
That cool man. Didnt seem like the steed speed did awesome either. And I dont think there is mani that gives a significant gain. The mam dyno results werent totally solid either.
yes and no there was one vid from zoom something guy...

I just think that the mani is more on how it looks vs. giving a significant gain, I would depend on other mods.. I really wouldn't see how a mani would give that much extra hp anyway, but at least it was a try.
There is a video on streetfire. That showed like a mid20 whp gain or something like that. But I have also herad that was at 13psi or something. And they also did a stock boost dyno run that only yielded like a 5ish whp gain. Manifolds are not really a power gaining mod(most of the time).

sandspeed is selling his sleeper manifold, and 505zoom is the one with the mam mani that made 28whp with the gt28rs @12psi.
So he also had a bigger turbo when theese dynos where done. Well then I would say theese show any kind of signifcant proof of power gains. That makes things totally different.
You really need to do some reading on turbo manifold designs. The turbo manifold plays a HUGE role in how the car delivers it's power. The video being referred to is this

505zoom had the GT28RS before and after the MAM mani install. So the numbers are tested on the same setup. Also, I think the MAM manifold was designed specifically for the MSP guy that was heavliy modded and not near stock.
Go to turbobygarrett.com There is some good reading you should do about manifold design.
Ive read that before. I understand how a manifold can affect the delivery of power. But alot of people think a manifold should always deliver noticeable gains. Not true. And you said it yourself heavily modded msp owners. There doesnt seem to be alot of thoose around. I myself have a nice amount of bolt-ons but in no way consider my car heavily modded. I think the begginning of a heavily modded MSP should start with a forged bottom end. Doesnt seem to be alot of people rolling around with bulit MSPs. Maybe Im wrong. My point is that most people wont see gains like they expect with a turbo manifold.
I get what your saying and I do plan to go with a bigger turbo too and push higher boost to try to reach those numbers cause I know stock bosst your not gonna get much.
