Buy an Raceland/GMC/Milltek/Supersprint manifold, it makes a hell of a difference in performance.

Yeah, the SBD 256bhp is a bench tested figure.
They're very similar engines tuned, just the TU has a few things better as standard.

Inlet mainly
Head probably flows better, cams might be a longer duration/higher lift.

I want someone to try a sportex out, the design looks right but no one is man enough to test them. I emailed Bic about his system on the maxi and he said he can get the manifold and system imported from france for £700. Id be tempted personally.

Bic's manifold has 45-46mm OD manifold primary pipes & 2.5" system.
The manifold & system bic uses will be to big for my engine's needs, 42mm OD primary pipes & 2.25" system will suffice.

OD of Raceland primaries are 38mm... the manifold should be good for up to around 180bhp.
