As Peter pointed out, take a look at the Twins Turbo manifold. Beautifully constructed, out side the box thinking, not all that impressive numbers.
As for your tuning experiences.... get a better dyno guy!
What's breaking and what boost, timing, AFR's etc etc etc...

Yeah I'm going to stick with shorter runners, as short as possible anyway.
It actually wasn't the tuner's fault in either case, it was just one of those things. Well, the first turbo I lost was my fault because I didn't put a restrictor in the oil line (didn't know I had to back then haha) and it blew the oil seals out on the first run, so that was my fault. Then when I lost my engine last Jan, I think it was going to go at any moment anyway, it was time to give up the ghost and it just so happened to be on the dyno. Actually that one was due to the rear bearing, so I'm thinking it might have been a blockage in the e-shaft or something and not providing oil, not sure. This time I don't know what the hell happened, but it hadn't even made it to the dyno yet when it started burning oil, during break in! But I'm still not 100% sure it's the engine just yet. But when I did get it on the dyno, that guy didn't know his ass from his elbow and changed the tune/timing so much that it killed it and wouldn't start again unless we popped the clutch with the truck pulling it. Once I changed the timing it would start again, but still acts weird, almost like it's flooding every time. And I'm sure as shit not going back to that place haha. And he supposedly used to have an FD and tunes a lot of them, that's doubtful. He sure isn't tuning mine anymore. Not only that, I spent 3 hours the night prior setting up my TB for a perfect idle, and then this dipshit started messing with it and screwed it up. But each of these times have been at different tuners anyway.
