fuel pressure regulator. They arent necessary, but i would for nitrous (my opinion).
A different manifold wont work with the stock turbo as they are both halves of the turbo itself. Sounds funny what I am saying, but the exhaust manifold actually has a large hole for the blades of the exhaust turbine to sit in (eh, if you saw it you would see what Im saying). Basically, stock turbo=stock manifold. Aftermarket turbo=aftermarket manifold.

if its stock you need to rev it up to like 2500-3000 feather out the clutch as you get on the gas. its not an on/off switch so get on the gas smoothly or you will just spin the tires other than that good luck and practice makes perfect

this may sound dumb but what does feather out the clutch mean? does it mean let it out slowly? im not used to a stock clutch in an srt-4 i had a prelude that ran high 12's with a stage 3 6 puck clutch that i would rev up at about 3500 rpms and just drop it and it would hook right away so this is kind of new to me

feathering means you kinda bounce the clutch petal out slowly letting it a little bits at a time i dunno its kinda hard to explain. this is only for a stock srt-4 because it has to much torque and the car will wheel hop through first. mine has motor mount inserts that eliminate the wheel hop so i can rev it up to like 3000-3500 and just let the clutch out slow enough to not spin the tires. what did you have to do to a plelude to make it run high 12s cause they are no where near that stock?
