Zzperformance sells turbo manifolds. As stated before the trans cant hold what the stock block can.

i believe zipper has348 whp on stock Trans, so that should let you know some of what you could do

The turbo manifolds will only work with there turbo kits. Cartuning performance makes turbo manifolds for there kits only as well.

There is people making a lot of HP still on a stock trans but if you try this male sure you have the money to replace the trans because eventually its gonna let go. I've seen them go in 3,000 miles and I've seen them last over 10,000 miles. Its luck of the draw. My rule of thumb, if you are gonna make the engine fast have a good trans to go with it.

you should always do the tranny for power and i saw your pics turbo monte did you decide aem on the wideband? how in depth does that tuner go and what has to be done to the ecu to use it? Also i was looking at the manifold for zzperformance isnt it a t3t4 flange? that can be used with most turbos you just need to buy a t3t4 flanged turbo or a adaptor. We were running a B16g with a t3t4 manifold on the last dsm we did.

Yes I have a aem widebandand I love it. As far as the manifold are you meaning the cross over pipe or actually manifolds? he cross over pipe will work no problem but unless you have a Zzp kit or you custom Fab a down pipe to have the wastegate the rear power log will not work. The rear power log was built for the Zzp turbo kit and no other kit but anything can be fabed to work. On the cartunjng kit the waste gate mounts right to the rear manifold or there turbo header but this can not be used with the Zzp kit. The front power log can be used on either kit.

HP tuners is a tuning software you plug into your obd2 port and then to a laptop. You tune the cars ecu to what needs to be done. There is no preset setting you can upload and go with it's all custom tuning. If you don't feel comfortable doing this you can buy a new ecu from zzp or others and tell them the mods you have done and they can mail you a tune to get you close but nothing runs as good as having the ecu tuned on your car.

Some vendors will email you a file to upload for your car if you already have the tuning software, just ask them to keep it unlocked so you can dial it in
