plenty of HT sponsors with great deals.

you need to know if the turbo will be mounted with driver or pass side exit and if you keep AC then a log manifold is what u need but will restrict power over 6k rpms.

If you delete the AC, then you have room for a ramhorn or something with good flow.


Edit.. make sure you run a larger exhaust from cat-back. you want to let the exhaust flow as fast as possible w/o restriction. Personally, i use a 2.5" downpipe (for AC reasons) and 3" all the way back and a resonator with cat delete.

Thanks for the response..I will message the sponsers you recommended and see what they can get for me..my ac is already deleted just have ps..I believe I hafta get a downpipe that exits on passenger side right by the way the turbo would mount?or can you flip it either way?I already have a full bc spec 2 w/ test pipe on the car..I was thinking something maybe like this?any comments?

yes. the back housing/exhaut housing of your turbo is a t3 inlet so you need to find a t3 manifold for it. the exit of the housing has 5 bolts so the downpipe will have to be a 5 bolt design. that mani and downpipe will definitely work for you

Don't I need a downpipe that exits on the other side then yours does?or could I flip the whole turbo around?thanks again for your help..

Would the manifold and downpipe that I posted a link to work with my turbo?

you need a downpipe that is designed to work with the manifold you buy. it can be drivers side or pass side exit. that manifold you post is a piece of junk, and is going to crack.

Alright I figured just wanted to see...I know the downpipe needs to match the manifold but which side do I need the downpipe for?either the driverside exit or passenger side exit or can I turn the turbo either way depending on the downpipe I get.

Thank you guys again for the help
