does anyone know the hp limit of the stock turbo manifold? im looking to be running ~550whp. Thanks

You'd be the first I've ever heard of to go over 450whp (7mpower.com), but maybe I haven't seen enough.

when you say manifold, are you talking about the exhaust manifold and the turbo?

"Turbo manifold" is one of the terms used to describe exhaust manifolds that are made to mate to a turbo. Also, no one could possibly expect to get up to 550hp with the ct26 lol.

Why not just get a T4 manifold? You have everything else you need, right? The turbo/wg, lines, etc..

There have been plenty of guys who have made 500+ on the stock manifold. Would I do it? No. But it certainly can be done.

i would love a t4 manifold but i already have a downpipe made for my setup with the wastegate dump tube going back into the downpipe and they are money i dont really want to spend if i dont need to.

what are the reasons you would not run one?
