Long runners are beneficial if they're designed right, you can increase the velocity which the exhaust gasses enter the turbo, thus promoting faster spooling.

TBH i dont see how anyone can compare a stainless equal length manifold to the stock cast item. The KKK manifold is terrible.

Was a damaged valve, not the gasket. That held up to 2.5 bar boost.
