The most important part of going turbo is the planning, gotta get it right the first time so you don't spend more $$ in the long run :thumb:

Top mount is bling and shows off the turbo, but people only spend the bucks on a top mount manifold if they have a huge snail to show off. Then there's a ram horn, still expensive and overkill for your turbo.

For a small turbo like yours a log manifold would be good and save you some $$, or go even cheaper and use the proven HF manifold + adaptor plate :thumb:

I don't know much about that turbo, except that it is pretty small and should spool fast. You won't be making any big HP #'s over 200, though. Maybe in the 180 range? A good setup to run on a motor with stock internals :thumb:

Also, you mentioned Tial wastegate... that might be overkill as well. A turbo that size isn't going to push a lot of psi and continue to make power. I'd see what you can do with the internal wastegate, 7 lbs would be a good # with a stock motor.
