keep the stock manifold, it will out flow the turbo. also is the manifold (headers) flanged for a ct? if not you would need an adaptor. as for the question about whether or not you can block off the internal wg, dont see why not, but why bother?

It will increase flow and probably give you a few horses but I would keep the stock manifold on until you get a new turbo, If you move the stock turbo to a new location the oil and water lines will not reach it correctly and you will have to run new ones, so I would wait so when you get the new turbo you can put new oil lines in.

personally a cut out isnt a bad idea, i would prefer an electric one but they are a lil more $$$. it depends if the extra work and money are worth the few hp it will free up, so the final sayso is up to you
