      oh, and no i cant weld but i have a handy dandy man that can for me... (wow, that sounds kind of gay doesnt it?)

      where do i start?

      p.s i guy with a subi wrx has the stock tubo and he said he'll sell it to me.. good investment?
      I'm pretty sure the m10 and the m20 have different exhaust bolt patterns, so no, that would not work.

      Also, I'm going to guess that a stock subi turbo will be too small to be worth it.

      Go to e30tech and ask these questions.

          If your looking for a cheap turbo manifold for your M10, wait a couple of months, XSPower just bought one of my manifolds. They will duplicate it with recycled coke cans and sell it on E-Bay for $150.

            Will it have a built in Kessel Run-off valve or will I have to mount that externally?

              Totally off topic, but hey, a free bump for the kid. Good & tight, what is going on with your car? I seem to remember rumors of a 24 valve swap, is this true? If that is the case it will have to be one bad ass S/M engine or I think you will be let down coming from that nasty m10. Your car was one of my fav's, it was all business.

                        Why dont you ask your buddy with the s2000 to give you his? Oh wait it only made 30hp, thats no good.

                        For those of you not in the know..

                        Oh and the ebay turbo kits.. You will end up paying the same amount of, if not more, money as a real turbo set up after you done making it work correctly. That Taiwan Ted manifold will fall a part, the turbo will take a shit, and the waste gate will probably not work correctly and you will over boost your motor. Talking from experience, I used to get customer cars with this crap all the time. If you want to boost your car, do it right the first time and spend the $$..

                            or maybe he's talking out his ass?

                            in any case, take your time and research. spend money where it needs to be spent (a good manifold vs a fancy bov ), and dont be afraid to get your hands dirty. good luck.
