On N/A cars they call them headers on a Turbo car it's a called a manifold. You can't run a header.

Turbo cars use manifolds, not headers. An used and uncracked 2G manifold would be your best bet, at least for now.

so just to check.With a turbo its an exhaust manifolds. so if i go to headers and they say for turbo then there just a manifold

Technically, a header is one piece going from the head to your cat, may differ slightly from car to car, and a manifold is just the top piece between the head and turbo. If someone is selling you a turbo header, it's possible that either they mis-used the term or they're selling a manifold + O2 eliminator downpipe so you can bolt your turbo up in between.

I'd still see if you can find an uncracked 2g maifold. Those things are proven
