Not worth it if u ask me. The Stock turbo isn't all that great and any improvement in HP will come from a upgrade and injectors.

Just use the stock one, your gonna waste your $$. Unless the biggest Turbo your gonna go to is the rb25.

I believe you can mount that Turbo to the stock Manifold. I would slap a EWG on it and call it a day.Unless your gonna go 6boost.All other Manifolds will need some kinda modifications. Aka money plus they may crack.Your cast Manifold won't and of it does you buy another one for $30

Just use the stock one....why dont you like it? Its not like you stare at it for hours while you drive....its efficient for the stock turbo, and holds the maf and intake far enough away from the turbo to keep from heat soaking....if you really want to, just go to auto zone and get some metal piping, cut and weld it to your preferd placement, then just hook it up to your turbo with couplers and clamp your maf to the end, and a filter to the end....which in my eyes would be a waste of money.
