N52 Aluminum Intake Manifold???

Very confused after finding this intake manifold while going down the dark hole of china parts.

I would think that’s maybe for a nitrous set up or some other reason you would want to add more injectors (turbo or supercharger?)

For a N/A application the shape and length of those runners doesn’t look to be any improvement over the basic oem n52 manifold. Even the n54 looks better optimized than that if you can get the ports aligned to the runners on the n54.

I've seen these before installed by twin brothers on YouTube. This was for a turbo application n54. They made some serious power for the single turbo conversion and XL billet manifold swap..
