That manifold is JUNK!!! Go look at other turbo manifolds... Others have much better design!!

If I were to run the turbo on renesis (I will never do as I think its waste of money) I would get either greddy manifold or mazsport, get a nice small ball bearing turbo, and get that powermod ems or other piggy back that will let you datalog and tune yourself. The whole cold air intake BS with 2-3 90degree bend is BS. Just put a filter or screen on your turbo. IC is important when you get into high boost.. but you are not going to make more than 10lbs with out going into changing your fuel system.

I mean, if I were to go do all this, I would just put a REW with stock twins (99 280s)! Thats what Mazda should of done fromt he beginning. with 280 99 twins, you'll get great response with max turbo potential of about 380RWHP (16-18lbs) and could run it reliably.
