Turbo Manifold Dimensions

Exhaust manifold dimensions has a significant impact on engine characteristics especially for turbo charged engines.

The below table provides a base line for exhaust manifold dimensions for turbo charged engines.

Note: Use smaller diameter tubes for widest power band and larger size where top-end power is more important and sluggish throtttle response is acceptable.
