Don't worry about the manifold until you are upgrading the turbo or if you have done all you bolt ons and you were looking to get every ounce of power out of the stock turbo setup.

The manifold will help more so with torque gains. As already mentioned, the Catback will give ya more Hp and the fun factor will increase due to sound!

yeah cat back. i wouldnt worry abut upgrading the manifold unless u upgrade the turbo, what you can do, is port the stock manifold for better gains. saves money and is a clean and easy mod
