Icon2 Couple things in mind on my boosted B16???

i currently have a boosted b16 with just a log manifold and was thinking about getting a ram horn manifold but i was curious if its really that big of power gain i know this has already been covered before probably just cant seem to find it and was wondering what everyone thinks about it?

Also would a bigger throttle body and intake manifold make a BIG difference for the price in hp gains sorry i dont know alottttt about power wise with a turbo im new to the boost but know alot about motors for being barely 18

Again im running a cat with my exhaust and doing a turbo back exhaust would that free it up to make it spool faster cause it seems to take awhile from what ive seen and heard about?

Im just trying to get that extra hp from little upgrades i can do just to make my car that much faster haha

Rams are better for flow past 6000 rpms.. so that would help.

I would get a 68mm TB and have the new IM ported to 68mm and you will see a good gain with that. JHP has the Blox cast TB for 115. and the Blox V.2 IM is pretty cheap also.

As for the cat, if you dont need emmision checks, look at this:

they look like cats, but are free flowing. Just incase any trooper pokes his nose under the car, it will appear u have a cat.

Ya a ram horn will help, but don't get the ebay ones. Spend the money having a trusted shop make you one. It also depends on how big ur turbo is and how much air ur pushing through. It's not worth the money if you have a baby 14b on low boost.

I would just do a cast manifold. Less crack problems to worry about down the road and since you're not running a lot of boost, the equal length won't increase your hp enough to hake a huge difference. Just my opinion.
