Re: can u have headers if you have turbo?
if you are going turbo then you'll need a turbo manifold meaning your headers won't match...you'll have to mod them if you want them to fit..but I would suggest not to get them

headers will sure benefit since youll be flowing lots of cfm air you need good exhaust

He shouldn't buy after market ones but get a custom one made since he's turboed (well will be)..too much modification would have to be done to it

Re: can u have headers if you have turbo?
does anyone else have probe headers with and turbo?
i want to get headers and then from them back will be a custom exhaust...arnt headers better than that ugly cat converter and a rusty shield?

Re: can u have headers if you have turbo?
You realize somewhere along your exhaust you will have to put the turbo in right? If you put in the probe header, a turbo will not bolt up directly to it and a flange would have to be made. Why not save your money and just wait and get a turbo header/manifold? I think you should do some research on turbo's before you decide to put one in, as the answer to your question would be pretty straight forward if you knew how a turbo system worked. And another thing, Im pretty sure the probe header is designed for an NA application, you might not get any performance gain from it with a turbo... but i guess it will look nicer

if you're concerned with looks, have your manifold ceramic coated when you get your turbo setup.

Re: can u have headers if you have turbo?
i don't think you understand the concept of turbo VS naturally aspirated. the turbo runs off of hte exhaust manifold. Another name for an exhaust manifold is a header. Most ppl think of a header as having tubular piping coming out of a flange but headers can be cast as well.
You can have a tubular, equal legnth turbo manifold made if you want looks, or you can just use the cast peice from the B6T that looks crappier and more OEM.
