wait so you're keeping stock exhaust with an .82 trim turbo? I don't think thats going to give you the "torque" you're looking for. Let that motor breathe some

Then don't get a race center in/center out muffler.
Go with two offset/offset mufflers as the factory units and you should remain with a reasonable exhaust.

I think with that turbo you should be way upwards to your goal and plenty of left over, as long as you have the fuel setup and so on. Why dont you add some BC stage 2, 264's cams? I have heard these alone are good for around 50 HP. Drop and play, use the stock retainers and valves and so on. Just leave the stock shims where they are.. JMO.. I am subscribed.

stock exhaust does not flow well at all. **** cat > compliance cat > middle mufflers > rear mufflers. All you need is dump > cat > resonators > mufflers

I didn't get a number with mine. It took 7 days to arrive. Came from china.

That eBay downpipe wont work. You will have to cut it. Its made for angled T4 manifolds.

Yeah they aren't big on questions. That's why that keep having issues on eBay. Oh well. As long as you know what you are paying for you should be ok.

How much did it cost for you to have your manifold braced?

i paid about 35 dollars. the shop welded 2 bars from the exhaust flange to the turbo flange. i am hoping i dont have any issues when i start to drive it regularly...

the wastegate pipe has no reinforcements. however the wastegate is recirculated back into the downpipe on my setup. there is also a flex section in my design. it should be sturdy enough to resist cracking.

crossing fingers.
