Message this is crap:

While this may not be a big deal, it is important to note that the exhaust stroke of one side of the engine causes the turbo to pulse when there's an intake stroke on the other side, thus making the system more efficient. By negating this, the Apollo FMIC is causing the turbo to feed a side of the engine that isn't accepting air on an intake stroke. This will add to the lag, as well as having a negative effect on overall power output.

The part in bold is simply incorrect, in that we're dealing with compressible flow. Additionally, a log style mani delivers relatively constant pressure, unlike a tubular style mani where exhaust pulses are individually "felt" by the turbine.
