Since the exhaust gas needs to go into the turbo from the manifolds, stock (shorter) manifolds are easier to fabricate the tubing for. There are a couple of members who went with twin turbos to avoid having to do a good amount of fab work. However boostang.com is a great place to start with the reading process to see whats involved.

Good luck with that tranny holding up. Have you thought about upgrading your brakes? Surely at one point you will need to slow down immediately after a quick acceleration run.
Why wouldnt it hold up for a 400-420 horsepower setup, i run 420 on a t-45 and it gets abused and its holding up fine with over 80k on it.

If you can find a strut tower brace to work with the jlt rai let me know. I was thinking of notching the steeda one if it didnt fit.

i just called steeda and they said it will work. it may touch the RAI but he said it will fit. he said it should only touch when the engine rocks.
