    What exhaust manifold do you have to use to run a GT series?

    It depends on what size Garrett and what turbine housing you use. A T3 will bolt up to a Volvo manifold but will be far from the best you can do.

    Are you looking at a custom job really? Only asking out of sheer interest, people don't really talk much about 850's running more than 330bhp.

    It also has a raised RPM limit of 8000 so you need either custom ground cams or at least NA cams to come close to that....larger injectors would need to be matched for AFR etc....the map is for the GT35 which is T3 most likely so one of those is needed too sadly and as already pointed out...con rods
