So as the topic says im looking to put together a NA-T kit however i want to do it right the first time. So im looking for some subjestions as to what companies for what parts you all would go with and why. Ive been researching this but times have changed and so have the way people have gone NA-T. Also im looking for some good prices i did some looking around but im lost at some prices. for example BL manifold is 1500 and Dave H manifold DP and tial waste gate plus turbo is 1750, I dont understand that "and im not knocking any company i really just dont understand maybe its how the manifold is made i really dont know thats why im asking, no disrespect meant". Also let me say thanks in advance to anyone who helps out i really dont see a point in goin GTE no more i did want it at one time but not no more so help a brotha out please. :bigthumb: .

im looking at 600hp thats all but not right off the back, is there a differnce between tubular and none tubular. Ive done some searches on this but what im interested in is opinions on parts not so much the horsepower out the gate. Kind of like the sc300 running 6XXHp with a head gasket and some other things. But my question pertains to the opinions of parts that you all have. and again thanks.

From my research, and please correct me if I'm wrong folks, go for a full tubular manifold since 600hp to the wheels is your goal. It will be more effecient at those power levels. Since I'm not planning for over 500rwhp, the DaveH manifold should suite me fine :bigthumb: .

What about opinions on other parts, turbos, injectors, front mount intercoolers, and a big one is electronics " like aem and other stand alones". Thanks dejacky for the info also, im just trying to learn from current opinions. But hopefully i might be getting some help from my friend gamimnon.

Log manifold: They are cheap to make and will not out flow a tubular manifold. A positive thing about log manifolds is that it will not crack compare to tubular because they are generally one piece. They also take less room than tubular manifolds but they have poor wastegate port placement.

Tubular manifold: For performance this is the only option. It will give you a quicker spool and better power in all rpm compare to a log manifold. Tubular is known to crack unless you use thicker steel. Boostlogic uses 321 stainless steel and have a long warranty so you don’t have to worry about the manifold if it cracks one day.


If you are looking for 600rwhp i recommend the boostlogic kit or the full-race manifold. Full-race is pricey but its equal length. To run 600rwhp, you will need a thicker head gasket to lower your compression and a better tranny. Your w58 will not hold at that power level.
