I considered doing this as well. I'd like to see some numbers before spending the $$. Not a bad price though.

There are a bunch of guys on the Streetunit Forum that have had this done and were very impressed. I look around there and see if I can find any posts.

That's really not a bad price for the work being done, as long as the results are there. Might as well P&P the mani since it's gonna be off anyway. And since you're in there, it's a good time to replace the exhaust components up there. Domino affect FTW.

I agree. This mod may only be $620, but you're almost forced to upgrade your fuel pump and downpipe, maybe even the exhaust manifold, and you'll definitely need a tuning solution.

Yep! Thats why I'm waiting... just a little food for thought guys. Full boost at 2900rpm with the turbo manifold replaced... So imagine that and the turbo replaced and getting full boost before 2900rpm... wheee...

so far no one's needed to upgrade the fuel pump or any other components......obviously for better performance you would want to upgrade anyway.....

Sounds like a good goal.
