Correct but remeber a t-25 will spool up fast and is still good for 250 h.p.

It uses the uppipe/downpipe. IT has proved solid and the mates nicely with our header.

It is the setup we run on our Drag Lancer. I like it best.

the up/down pipe you like better than the manifold? I'm curious as to why. I always thought the turbo manifold would be better, since I had never seen the up/down pipe thing until I saw you older kit.

Rock, I know a high flow exhaust system is needed but tell me, how would the car perform with a turbo and the stock exhaust? I'm sure idea performance wouldn't be met but would there be harm to the turbo or anything for concern? Reason I ask is, I still want to pass emission tests in my state.

It shouldn't cause any harm to the turbo, but you certainly won't be making the best use of the turbo. Having a turbo with a stock exhaust is like having a huge d!ck but no *****, it's just a waste.

IMO, if you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all.

What if I didnt connect the exhaust pipe running from the turbo to the rest of the exhaust, how would that play out? I have a performance muffler but not the catback, reason I just got a muffler is I remember reading on this site you lose torque with a new exhaust system and I dont know how true that is and if it is true I doubt just replacing the muffler would change my car's little torque.

just spend the $100 and go to a muffler shop and have them put in a custom cat-back

^Exactly, the plan you're proposing wouldn't stand a chance in hell of passing emissions and it'd be loud as hell and horribly smelly.
