as stated looking for turbo "headers" for a 16g turbo... actually think its called turbo manifold but could be mistaken... ive seen them on members cars just not sure where to get them :ohdamn:
 
They are called Exhaust Manifolds. Look through the vendors section. Or try ebay if you want it on the cheap.
 
headers? im pretty sure theres only one

I saw them on your car bNasty, on the updated pictures that you have... this is my first trip into the turbo scene so not sure what the official name of them is... but they look similar to N/A headers... But as stated they are Exhaust Manifolds and you got yours from FP as well bNasty?

Should also note im looking for aftermarket one, rather than stock... looking for better airflow and additional power
 
Unless you're over 600 WHP, you don't need to worry about it. The stock manifold, especially on a 2g, is very good. You may want to port the collector, or pick up an Evo 3 manifold, to match your turbine housing.

If of course you're just looking to spend money like so many people are, get some adjustable cam gears too.
 
As stated already, the stock manifold will work just fine for you. If you want to upgrade one time and be done with it, I would also recommend the FP manifold. It's a cast stainless piece and at the same time is tubular. Kind of like the best of both worlds, and in my opinion it is sexy!!:D
 
I prefer a ported stock one unless you need to upgrade to something larger. Then like others have said you can go with a evo3 mani or a fp.

But I think you are referring to tubular exhaust manifolds. You can go cheap and get them one ebay (which can crack) or get a quality piece from shearer fabrications, or punishment racing just to name two places.

Tubular turbo manifolds are not designed for use on daily driven cars. They can't take the constant heating / cooling without cracking, and they effectively increase the engine bay temps enough to burn the paint of your valve cover. Not cool.

Buy a 2G stock manifold and port it, or buy an Evo III manifold or a FP cast manifold if you're not able to port.

Not to mention a quality piece that will last can cost upwards of $700+





OP:
As everyone else mentioned, either stick with your 2g manifold if it's uncracked or upgrade it to a better flowing Forced Performance Race Manifold. It has larger runners, a 7cm collector outlet, looks much nicer as well.

You would be better off spending the money else where currently but you should fully fill out your profile for proper help. Do you have an upgrade fuel system with a tuning device? If not, I hope you are keeping your boost to the stock wastegate pressure...
 
gotcha! thanks for the help... updated my profile info as best as possible
 
**UPDATE***

YES SCORE!!! talked to my friend at a local shop and he got me the turbo manifold made for the 16g turbo i'm running for $120!!!! brand spanking new too LOL

Hmmmm, aftermarket manifolds and adjustable cam gears do give a significant gain even with 16g setups. A set of cams not dialed in when installed straight up na d semi-efficient exhaust flow always degrade a build. And gains have been seen over and over again when tweeking cams and installing a quality exhaust manifold even at 14b levels.
 
Gains from cam gears have been seen, yes, but only when tuned properly. For the vast majority of people out there they're just engine bay bling. I respect your knowledge a lot but I get the feeling you're playing Devil's Advocate here.
 
Picture :D and not from ebay went to the manufactures storage/warehouse

Looks strangely familiar to:

...which happens to be $88 on eBay.



Did yours come with two fancy little paper / metal gaskets? Did you happen to notice if there were a bunch of metal-fabricating Chinamen at the manufacturers storage/warehouse?
 
What company made it?
There is no such thing as a 16G specific manifold btw.
