manifold is totally up to you..why you not getting a complete kit? I would get a ebay o2 housing..do a search they showed best results, thats what I'm using now. I myself like to keep everything the same, I have a invidia dp,test & catback. I'd go with the best quality you can afford

whats this supporting mods ?

chances are that turbo will not mate up to just any downpipe and you'll need to get a matching one or have one custom made to the kit as the o2 housing will not be anything like the one of your stock turbo

While there is a small amount to be saved up front by buying the pieces from several different places, the difficulty comes in getting them all to fit together and work properly. I've seen and assisted with several piece-together builds and the end result has always been the customer telling me that they really wish that they'd just bought the complete kit After all of the money and time is spent to get everything to work it typically just doesn't pan out with all things considered, as a better deal.

We build our turbo kits with the absolute maximum value for our customers' performance dollar in mind being sure that pricing remains reasonable even for what we feel to be top of the industry quality standards. If you have any questions about the various options be sure to get a hold of me and I'll be happy to discuss!

does he have a IX MR or a VIII / GSR? You wil rub the resonator with the driveshaft on a IX. Plus it's a crap exhaust, it's not even stainless. I've owned this overpriced POS, and I can tell you to stay away from it. There are way better exhausts available.

Exactly why my car is full of ETS parts. Turbo kit, IC,IC piping, full exhaust...all ETS and they all fit togethor perfectly With my Nissans I tried mixing/matching pieces for turbocharging them and the end result was me taking more and more tylenol for the headaches Regardless of whether you go with an array of ETS,AMS, Buschur parts..sticking with one company always makes life easier...BTW....go with ETS! Later.
