i need an exhaust manifold for my awd 2g talon tsi with an external wastegate setup and im dropping in the agp rs60 turbo. any comments would be nice on a cheap one that is also nice.
 
Turbonetics Cast manifolds are cheap and ultra reliable. They do need some porting work but thats easy to do and will get your feet wet on porting if you have never done it before. If you plan on street driving your car a lot cast is by far the most reliable manifold you can buy. Many of the better stainless headers are just as good (Magnus, DNP etc) but are double the money. They do flow better and look a lot better so really it's upto your walet. For the price and durability the turbonetics unit is hard to beat.

Stay away, (VERY FAR AWAY) from ssautochrome and other crappy ebay headers.
 
A nice stainless steel header with a proper merge collector will allow you pick up a good deal of horsepower over a proper ported 2g manifold, or a log/t-netics style. Problem with these is definately the price.

If you have a bolt on turbo, there is no reason to go with anything other than stock unless you want it for "bling" or are in the 130mph range.
