which exhaust mani

[A. Van]

Will the EVO III exhaust mani fit up to a stock 2G turbo?

And which may be better to get? A ported 2G exhaust mani or the EVO III mani? I think I'm set on getting EVO III O2 housing, 3" downpipe (buschur), high flow cat 3" (buschur) and exhaust ( ??, maybe a N-1 ). Also will I run into boost creep on my stock turbo? The big 16G will have to wait a couple of months before I can swing it.

Thanks

you should just stick with the stock mani and port the hell out of it. There really isnt a difference once porting is an issue. the 2g manis dont crackl veru easily at all and can take lots of porting and with stand lots of milage. Im willing to bet that you will ge some creep if you install a evo o2 and 3" back...

I agree with what Candela said. There isn't a big difference between the 2G and EVO manifolds to make it worth buying an EVO when you have the 2G. Just port the collector and clean up the casting flash in the runners but don't waste your time trying to gasket match the runners. Opening up the collector and cleaning up where the runners enter it will give the biggest improvements.

Your likely to get boost creep if you don't port your turbo wastegate port. But then your 2G BOV will just leak it all anyway

Yeah. I'll get a new BOV when I get my 16G

I heard that if you go with 2.5 all the way, you get more low end torque?

Hmm, have to look into finding a place that ports around here...

Thanks guys
