BOV's and wastegates fmics work fine, i know from experience, even some of the turbos are decent. i wouldnt touch a manifold though.

Which is why I need to get a gangster 4-1 before they're gone too. I've had many dc-sports headers, great quality and performance, but the price is def. up there when you're on a budget. :-\
