Normally stage 3 turbo does not include manifold. The closest platform is A45 AMG which use the same BW turbo from factory but manifold and turbo isn't in one piece. Their stage 3 upgrade (top mount) do not need a new manifold.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same part. The manifold I am referring to is the exhaust manifold, aka turbo manifold, often referred to here as the "turbofold". It sounds like you are referring to the turbo housing? |
Same part we're talking about.
I was explaining why VTTO has to cast their own everything instead of using Garrett off the shelf stuff.
VTTO needs to use new casting to keep everything factory location, otherwise he has to custom make downpipe, which would be a stage 3 kit.
