uhm...i'm pretty sure we don't have the same engines.

the piping and manifold will be different for both engines. You'd be better off getting a turbo designed for the 2.0 beta engine. You can get a ballistic turbo kit or wait till SR starts carrying them.

Turbo's are damn near universal. Hell you could use a T-100 turbo on a tiburon, but you wouldn't get much boost. It is the Manifold that matters.

No one currently sells just the exhaust manifold for the Beta engine other than Champion in Korea, RPW in Austraulia, and CAPA in Austraulia.

Each manifold only fits a specific brand/flange type of turbo, so what you should do is source/purchase the exhaust manifold first, then decide which turbo of that bolt pattern/flange fits your intended boost goal.

I suggest you pick up "Maximum boost" by corky bell before you invest any money in a turbo setup. It will teach you want you need to know to move foward, and what to look for in parts.

regular headers are not needed for turbocharged applications... you use a log-type exhaust manifold or get something custom made up

Headers are for N/A cars. They are basically just pipes that all interconnect.


Turbo manifolds are short pipes or a casting, that ends in a flat mounting point for the turbo.
