JCW Turbo Manifold?

What are the advantages of this manifold over the OEM Cooper S manifold:

Is the installation hassle worth the return if I install it with the stock S turbo?

I have done it and the gains are not noticeable. Get a bigger turbo and tune

Thanks. I have the tune already. I saw a used one of those manifolds for sale, and wondered if it might be worth it. I'm already saving for a new turbo.

Care to share where you saw for sale? Lol

I like it, but swapped it when I swapped turbo so couldn't tell you gains by itself

If you will get a bigger turbo, then take the OEM cooper s manifold and port it.
