Does anybody make cast turbo manifolds or maybe even tube style manifolds? I was thinking more along the lines of a T3 turbo with a cast/tube manifold with a closed loop external WG setup. But if nobody even makes a manifold for that (i dont feel like finding someone to fab it up for me) or there might be clearance issues then i'd probably just stick to upgrading the stock manifold and stay with the TD family of turbos. For that i would probably hang out on the Eclipse or maybe Evo forums since IIRC they would typically go to larger compressors like 16G, 18G or even 20G (TD04 is the turbine side).
I was supposed to go car shopping the weekend after my initial post but i had to postpone cause i thought i might have to move to a different apartment. Still up in the air on that but the next 3 days i'm gonna go to the dealership and see if i can look at a few maybe even sit inside of one.

EB Mustang was not a good cornering car. If all you want is acceleration and don’t care about turbo or not, a 2014 Mustang is a good deal, or 5th gen SS. Even used SRT8.

I've already done that, for the past few years actually, and the Camaro is the one i've settled on.
