Well you can tune both with the Greddy Emanage, AEM EMS or SAFC+MSD BTM. I'd go with atleast 50lb or 550cc injectors to keep you from having to upgrade later.

50lb injecors are 525cc's.

that manifold only works with on-center turbos

tial wastegate will be just finegoing to need a downpipeoil linesguages (boost at the least)wideband will make tunning a breeze

I just did this setup:

Enthalpy tuned ECU615cc Deatschwerks injectors300ZX MAFS

Whole setup netted $850. I think its the way to go. No tuning required. I say save that money you'll spend on Emanage and a wideband and throw it toward an ECU.

ya go with another manifold as the on center turbo selection isnt as wide as tangential. and since ur still piecing it together, u have plenty of time to switch up stuff on the list. BTW, thats a good budget to get u 250whp. Remeber oil lines and DP

on-center turbo, are there any cast mani's out there...i dont want to buy SS..i heard they crack easy?

and to guy that said to get enthaly or soemthing i think the e-manage is a better choose you got to tune it yourself and you can change settings easly where as the ecu that you said you have to send it in and there down time and every...

^^ yup.

Decent manifold for the price. The collector could have been cleaned up a little but overall it is very decent. I would not use this manifold with anything other than an on-center style turbo... My tangential mount was a nightmare and a half to get set up, and it still isnt really right. If you are going to get this manifold, and it really isnt bad at all, definitely get an on center turbo.

Also make sure Mark at ETD has the manifold in stock and ready to go. I did a group buy way back when and I remember him taking a long time and making many promises that didnt come through. Good product though.
