My New Turbo Setup :)
No dynos yet, but I imagine it's around the same power level. Same turbo, just much easier to deal with oil leaks, and installation, etc. My car is oil leak free for the first time since I have had it turbo charged!!! 
hah hah
The manifold is equal length within a half inch.
I will be making yet another manifold with my experiences making this one, which will allow for more different options for turbochargers....
I will probably have that done in a couple months..

That's a big turbo. Good thing you have 9K to get it to spool

It spools by about 5000 rpm, but in second gear it feels like a large N/A motor because of the gearing... I have only run 14 psi on this setup at this point, which is very powerful on the street (scary, seriously). This is what I dynoed at 423 rwhp with a lesser manifold.
I suppose I will be increasing boost shortly to 18 psi or so, but I think I will keep the boost at 14 psi for daily driving to preserve the motor, and drivetrain.
