I have below:

Garrett GT35r w/ 4 bolt 2.5 discharge
SB SS oil feed / return
Custom SS water lines
Custom 2.5" to 3" downpipe
PTE 880cc injectors
AP Fuel Rail

Thats it and my car did this tuning FUEL ONLY (stock timing) with the factory ECU using ECUFlash:



I can get more pictures up when I get home on my laptop. I have pictures of the build and all. Look below for all the mods...

As for the manifold, for the price (I think i paid $275 to my door) I was impressed. The inside however needs work. It needs cleaned up from the cast. It looks like they cast it and just left it alone and no one went inside the manifold and cleaned it up to help it flow better. I cleaned it up as best I could and slapped it on there to see what it would do. As you can see not bad at all!

To answer some of the questions: You have to use the 4 bolt 2.5" .63 hotside if you decide to run a GT35r. I tried the bigger 3" but I didn't have enough room for my downpipe to clear my AC/PS pump. I made a custom 2.5" to 3" downpipe and it works great! The turbo sits far enough right but the GT35r is so big I had to replace my fan to a slim fan.

Everything else fits perfect! I am really happy with it for the money and I made a GT35r turbo for my car for under $2,000!!!! I was very happy with this!

Let me know if you guys have any other questions...
