Why not go for up/dp first, better yet, with Cat-back to complete your exhaust system. IMO, it's better to have those things first, then have the turbo.

Yes, You can run it with stock but you will need a very conservitive tune, almost like stock. Ide recomend getting at least an up-pipe before you do turbo.

I wouldn't run one with the stock dp either because the wastegate will be blocked. Best get a nice bellmouth or divorced dp so the gases can flow quicker.

yes, any catless OR high flow cat will do the trick.

Does anyone know how the vf34 will do on a 4EAT. (mainly lag) Right now I have a Vishnu UP and a Helix DP with Hiflow Cat and Greddy EVO Catback. Running COBB AP Stage 2. Also if it makes a difference, Samco IC and MAF hoses and silencer removal.

Good to hear. Got to start saving up just as soon as I get my new struts installed. About two weeks out.

I disagree. While you will not gain much power, you can run VF34 with stock up/downpipes. I don't see why you would do it, but you will make some power. Of course, you will need to get your car retuned.
