interesting turbo header comparison these guys did a comparison of a basic log or weld L style header vs 4 equal length tubes into a merge colector. check it out, kind of interesting.
edit... the dyno chart and pic's of the 2 diferent manifolds are not coming up anymore
, the link is kind of worthless without those. hopefully they will come back up.

Interesting. I guess that would kinda be expected though. There are no sharp bends and no turbulance with a 4 into 1. Good thing I am building 4 into 1. Efficiency is the most important thing, especially on a pumpgas street car. With that in mind, a log does'nt make a lot of sense. People are saying well "it's only giving up 50-60 hp". If hp does'nt matter.... Why even do it at all then? What the hell is that to say from somebody that spent all the money for turbos to go fast. Why even do it in the first place then if you dont care about giving up "free" hp. Noone wants to "give up" hp. Especially on a max effort upgrade. If any upgrade was to be classified as a Max effort upgrade it would be turbos. That is the most extreme and expensive "bolt on" upgrade you can do. Just my .02. Do it right or don't do it at all!

There is no doubt that an equal length header is better for an all-out project, but to be fair that is the crappiest log design I have ever seen. Maybe because of the cramped engine bay?
