hm i think with these tight engine bays, there are a limited number of configurations
so i dont know how much copying is done. im sure this could have been done even if ASP GT kit didnt exist ... but i guess we will never know.
of course, genX gt kit definitely benefits from 2nd mover advantages ... while ASP benefits from 1st to market

Care to back up that statement?
I see absolutely no benefit using stock manifolds aside from reduced costs. When you're dealing with larger turbos like GT's, headers make a huge difference compared to K04's.
It will have an effect on spool, power and durability. I actually think TiAL's can benefit a lot from using tubular headers...but if you buy K04 headers, the price jumps to what the GenX kit costs (which also includes 3'' downpipes and external wastegates)
