Put Nitrous Oxide on my old 760gle manual a few years ago but......... the best, most cost effective thing I ever did was fit leak-off valve to the waste gate pipe of my T5 AUTO (autos handle the over-boost much better than the manuals do). Never ceased to put BIG smiles on my face (untill of course I came so stop!) Spanked a WRX pro-drive easy peasy.
