Default I Need a new Manifold or header

I need a new manifold or header for my second gen turbo. Should i go with a ported second gen or a tubular stanless header? I dont mind spending the money. At least the header looks good to

You dont get headers for a turbo car.

"Exhaust manifold" they just dont call them headers. Headers are for N/A cars.

A tubular manifold is always better (the second one) but a ported stock 2g manifold is still better. The step up will just decrease spool time a little. Maybe give you a little more power by removing some back pressure.

if money actually doesnt matter to you, the tubular one obviously looks a lotttt sicker.

who the hell cares about looks for that much more money, its all about the performance and on the stock turbo, the ported 2g manifold is the better way to go.

Last I recall tubular manifolds tend to be a better performing setup, John do you have anything to back up that the port 2g manifold can out flow a tubular? I have some proving you wrong once again.
