Man just do some research, your stock mani will not support a turbo. Check out zzperformance.com

he said "stock downpipe and header" if you put it on the header might as well get a manifold

Uh... I wouldn't do that. If your turbo ***** out, you're out a manifold too.

The best option for you if you must go that rout is to have a shop weld a t3 or whatever flange the turbo requires and bolt the turbo to it. The only problem with this is having clearance to mount the turbo.
