No, it's equal length.
I was actually consider the treadstone kit based on that mani. And was considering using that mani when I was going to go custom, cause it's stong and cheap.
But then I saw that sexy equal lenght manifold from Turbo Toyotas, realized the potential, saw he was within a few hours and jumped on it.

Be careful buying the treadstone manifold for your own custom kit. they claim it fits any T3 turbine inlet, and you may be able to BUT not with out getting slimmer profile fans...
I know it will fit a T25 and "maybe" a T28(disco potato) with the stock fans...maybe...
I know of a guy that bought it with the intend of building a custom kit and couldn't do anything with it on his own...

dont wanna read anymore but if you dont wanna run emanage or what ever your going to run.. run 4psi to be extra safe untill then...i had a turbo Z24 cavy..i kno its funny used to beat SRT-4's. but i had it untuned on 5 psi just for a day and didnt romp on it to bad...granted the TC can do some of its own for 6psi, i leaned it out....got a new engine and did it right and it ran awesome for over a year and sold it..
had a DEL SOL GSR turbo GT30R fully built and had it tuned that ran amazing...sold it ..so the lesson is tune tune tune tune! your best friend with turbos...and the ZPI kit from what i read on their site (stage 1) pre tuned EMANAGE idn how good the tune is but their coverin their A$$ so no ones liek i blew it up blah blah blah..lol so TUNE!

See i kinda what the whole "factory turbo" kinda set up, i don't wanna be messing with seasonal tunes and such, i'm also the type to appreciate HP and not be like "HMM...let me just turn up the boost a lil more" i'll be happpy with 260hp to the wheels.
Dezod's S1 tuner turbo with a black box tuned for 9psi looks damn good to me.
but that Treadstone manifold sure is sexy...decisions decisions...

Yea, im not gona turn up the boost on the treadstone. 7 psi is more than enough for me. Theres no where that im really going to be able to run the car to its potential as it stands unless i take it to the track. So for me 250 whp is plenty

Sometime its tempting to just save the cash and buy a car that comes turbo from the factory with a warranty......but when you put the numbers together it comes out to be much more than 5k if the car is running in the low 30 thousands

that treadstone kit is good for 9psi with no tuning so no point in limiting your self...

another question, Has Treadstone corrected the fitment issues? such as the turbo touching the fan shroud and the down pipe being too close to the oil line...
