Exhaust manifold
Fwiw I've noticed zero difference when adding manifolds to the equation. Just ease of mounting turbochargers.

Tater built or diesel power products
The fmw and sxe are the same compressor. The sxe only had a 360* thrust to differentiate. I do not see you gaining anything with going to a s300 frame with similar wheel sizes to what you have now.

Exhaust manifold
There is no reason to change a manifold on a stock truck.

If ball bearing was so great they would be on everything. They are not. Tater says a lot of stuff but cannot deliver on any of it. He is a snake. How much power are you wanting? There will never be a large single that will spool fast and make big power. Physics are hard to overcome. Any stock appearing turbo is a grenade, I do not care what the builders say. They are extremely inefficient. A properly sized cover and housing goes a long way in performance.

It would not let me move them around.

Similar to what I did but I removed from the head. Did not feel like fighting the line clamps. @NightHawk the truck I replaced a vp on this past weekend was running an edge drag comp. Was on a reman pump. fwiw

Choot, I replaced a vp Sunday. Tried the no removal of lines from the head like a had a couple fb "buddies" say they could to. HA that was laughable.

Death to all tuners! I love the correlations made when pumps die. rofl

Tappets
Replace. The new tappet can take a new wear pattern from the cam. Moving them around tends to promote accelerated wear of the cam and tappet.

Ijection lines so tight.....
Was just the first one that popped up with the "line" wrench end. The others do not work as well and like to spread I've found.

Exhaust manifold

If you have cad you can get the passenger side. Drivers side the carrier has to come out.- Advice on Exhaust Manifold/System/Brake
I would plan your exhaust brake around the turbocharger you plan on using. Hate to buy something and it not work later. I am not a fan of 3 piece manifolds. Stainless steel one piece are all I recommend. As far as the rest of the exhaust, if you are planning on keeping it forever - stainless. I do not have a favorite brand as pipe is pipe. Though the hangers in proflos exhaust systems are hollow. Keep that in mind.- Axle Leak after Brake job
Yea it is not exactly a fun process. You do not have to re setup the carrier. Just keep the shims and caps to their respective sides.- Exhaust manifold
Stock. Coatings do not last at these heat levels. I would never fly cut either. Compression is a good thing.- LED Headlights

Since this came on fb...again....these are what people see when driving at you with pnp led or hids.- 7x0.0085 +75HP SAC Injectors from DAP
Same here. It is killing me to drive this stock 12v lol Unless you have a few thousand dollars to measure cylinder pressures.....there isn't one. Denial is the first step. ;) - Axle Leak after Brake job
