Boost at the manifold is all well and good, but are you looking at saving your turbo, or knowing how much pressure there is in the manifold... That's for you to decide!
Frankly on a stock setup, as you say, there's going to be very little pressure drop, but once you add an intercooler - the pressure drop will increase! I've seen some intercoolers cause a 4psi drop across them - the difference of 4psi can be the difference between popping your turbo and it being just fine.
