Sorry for the noob question. what do you mean by log manifold? btw i have a spare t3/t4 turbo and tial external wastegate here, this was suppose to be for the wrx but decided not to put it last year, should i get my e-manage from my wrx or better to buy aem ems? thanks again! hoping to learn more about s2000's

better to get a full standalone for s2000's, unless there is a really good s2000 emanage tuner near you

this:



is a log manifold, and with it, you will need a lot of boost to make a little bit of power, so don't do it


a REALLY good option for turboing the S is the ptuning turbo kit. you can google it or make your way over to the FI section. read, read, read.

What year s2000 are you getting?
Your emanage can work for an s2000 but its not the best choice. They can be hard to work with especially if not wiht an experienced tuner. Most would recommend an AEM EMS but of course its a little more expensive.
What kind of power are you putting down currently with you WRX?
