Why would you want to do this? There are turbos internally waste gated that will push power past the capabilities of the 4x4 manifold so not really necessary unless it's for show and noise !

Ok, I would go for a 2wd manifold to get the most out of that turbo unless your engine is standard in which case the 4x4 will do as the engine won't make the power due to the engine not the manifold
