Well i think all the advise that all this people gave u should help get u started, like they said do some research and if u have any more questions hit me up. alot of people think that installing a turbo is as simple as that, but just be ready for alot of headics and sleepless nights when something goes wrong. the tune that my set up has should be good as long as u stay with the same turbo i never really had any problems with it. But every car is different. oh and if u delete both of the cats ur car is more than likely gonna smell like exhaust fumes. I put solid mounts on mine so it rattles like theres no tomorrow. The best part about this is when u pull up to a stop light and that guy with a HONDA or even an EVO think its just a SCION.... boy ull have a smile when u see them on ur rear view mirror... 14.01@98.9mph at only 6.5 psi.

Firts of all is kinda hard to have the best of both worlds, U gotta give up something to gain on another. Like the other member said look into the holset turbos, i never really messed with those so i couldnt tell u. most turbo kits come with there specific turbo cause they found something about that turbo that works for that set up so u might want to look into those. if all else fails just do a twin turbo set up!!!!! I thought about it. LMFAO!

if you switch manifolds you'll have to retune. the flow is wayyyy better and different on a tubular. it won't be like a completely different tune, but you could not boost for a little while with the new mani before you get tuned

Tubular manifold will warrant a retune 100%

^^^ so definately get it re-tuned if i switch over to a tubular? How does that work, at the time of switching or switch it then drive on over to the tuning shop to get it re-tuned and stay out of boost?

oh and also, What kind and how thick or oil would i use? Im planning to use Royal purple, but how thick, 5-30?10-30? 5-40?10-40?

Yes it will change turbo response 100%.

does it make a huge difference for the oil? ive seen a lot of people running OEM oil so i've been running OEM royal purple for about 15k miles boosted. just wondering if it'll make a big difference

How far away are you from your tuner? If you're not that far I would say you'd be ok to install the tubular and drive there as long as you stay out of boost.
