1. I'd like to know how restrictive the stock TII manifolds are.
2. How much improvement in the exhaust flow can you create?
3. Isn't the Stock manifold the most direct way from the exhaust-to-turbo?
Just by me looking at the stock turbo, number 3 is not true. You have a volumetric space that causes increase in turbulance as different temperatures meet each other. This will slow down flow of the manifold.

However, you forget that a majority of the magic for a turbo to operate effectively comes from temperature and pressure differences and not necessarily the flow of gases to the turbine.
