not unless u have a t3 turbo, u have to have a flange that will mount to ur turbo. best bet is to port ur manifold

Best bet is to get one p&p, but i see you are stock, much better gains with a simple chip and exhaust. If you upgrade your turbo eventually look into a new manifold depending on your turbo application.

First things first. Chip it. I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself.

Yeah, you could get that manifold, but then your exhaust would just have to leak out the flange, because your KKK won't bolt to that.

Go with whoever is closer. But if you have plans to upgrade to maybe a k04 get GIAC the have software and you get discounted prices. Overall GIAC is aggresive and APR has a smooth power band both good.
