Also, along the same lines, would a seat of extractors help my turbo install??
Im guessing they would (i.e. more exhaust to spin the turbo = faster spool)

Your turbo runs off the exhaust, so you have to butcher a set of extractors to plumb it in. Yes it would be better nice smooth flowing pipes, but $$.

the FLOW OF GAS! :P

extractors (called a turbo manifold in a turbo car) ---> turbo ---> turbo spins ---> out the back of the turbo (downpipes) ---> cat

Well, if its just recreational track work, then the RPW's are pretty damn good. However I'd probably avoid the cermaic coating... you really dont need to waste that extra couple of hundred pounds on something thats going to give you a couple of hundedths of a HP.

Pretty sure either Ricerocket or Camskill are distributors for rpw over there. Value for money would be to buy a set over there rather than have a set custom made.

If you plan to turbo i would stick with the standard manifolds and port them out to improve flow. As standard they arent very restrictive, so for all the difference a 3-1 manifold would make id invest the money in parts needed for the turbo kit.

Id say its not worth it. What boost are you running and when do you get full boost?

I could get 5psi by 3000rpm running standard manifolds and they would flow enough to see that held till 7500+rpm don't see any real gains coming from aftermarket manifolds unless you are after far higher power outputs.
