Street/DD or track the BW256 is a good choice in turbo. I would get the extended tip version and not the non-extended tip. I would also go with the .70 A/R which is T3 intlet and outlet V-Band or you could go with the T3 divided with a .76 A/R but the outlet wouldnt be V-band. All depends on what configuration you want to go with.

The one I am lookin into is a .63 AR twin scroll T3 no extened tip verson. It has been rebuilt and has 0 miles on it

How much are you getting the turbo for? and you sure it is the s256 non extended tip?

Are you planning on a divided runner manifold?

 

[turboeclipse99]

They are asking 450 obo

 

[DWR-DSM]

450 for a rebuilt ,cant beat that and I suggest running a divided manifold with that turbo. Plus you are FWD so with the A/R your traction shouldnt be to bad when launching.

Were the best place to get a divided manifold at

 

[DWR-DSM]

You can go to the marketplace tap up-top and look at dsmtuners supporting vendors. I would give a few vendors a call to see what kind of deals you could get on a divided exhaust manifold.
