I don't get it. What software is used with the ATP turbo kit? Does it use stock manifold?

They use their own software
This has been the problem with their kits. Great hardware, poor software. And their basic kit does use the stock manifold. It uses an adapter that allows the turbo to bolt up to the stock mani.

I have the kit in my car...............
.....it uses the stock manifold. You can get your stock manifold ported and polished to increase the inner entry diameter by almost 3/8". The program has a socketed chip so I am guessing that they had a custom program made by GIAC.
The kit runs well on a NDBW car and for the money is comparable to the K04 upgrade but, with alot more power. It is not at the level of the PES t-28 though.

The turbo choice is fine...
However, the manifold to turbo adapter is a POS. That and their software is very basic and you've got a recipe for frustration.
