There are manifolds for sale on eBay. Be careful that you're getting the correct manifold and not being conned with a 323 or 328 one. It's not a straight swap as some pipe work changes and a couple of extra brackets are required. I'll post a useful link later.
The increase in power comes with a decrease in low down torque.
A remap will liberate most benefit with the manifold. All the above together with an M3 exhaust manifold will give you 240bhp.
Correct, I may have been a bit nonchalant there but having modified many engines I call that straightforward for the power increase. Naturally you need CAI but I thought that went without saying.
