Cx are known for their manifolds cracking at the collector. Mine cracked where the wastegate branches off. It also boost creeped like none other. Do yourself a favor and get a quality manifold the first time.
I'm on a VG trans after eating my countershaft in the stock trans passing a semi in 5th gear (totally my fault but yeah trans is weak.) Nothing cheap about the KA-T but it's fun as hell. This is my 2nd garage queen and I can afford to let it sit on jackstands while I tinker with it. Everyone else has pretty much covered it.
Bare bare bare minimum for anything over 8-10psi with a conservative tune is going to be regapping your rings. If you're already in there... you see the slippery slope.
