If you get a hundred replies there will probably be 99 different opinions. I am running the Megan tubular manifold. Some say you sacrifice a little torque with it. I didn't feel it. I made 308AWHP on DTM's Mustang Dyno this past spring with the mods in my signature which included that manifold. Some say it will crack, well after 20k plus miles mine has yet to show signs of cracking and it has some really thick flanges. Hope this helps you.

Full-Race makes a very nice stock-replacement manifold. I trust their quality over anyones, period.

Stock turbo I'd recommend a ported stocker. Anything bigger go tubular.

I personally like this. Deep ported. Externally machined to remvoe the heat shield bosses and anti-lag ports. Then Swain coated!

If your going to stay stock turbo for a long time get a full race worth every penny.

If your going to upgrade the turbo get a megan racing. Had mine for 2 years not one problem.

Another problem free megan for 3 years! But you will do very well with a ported and coated stocker too. Full race shows great numbers, but it is a bit pricey unless you fully intend on staying with a stock type turbo for a while. Or if you have green to throw around freely
