i'm not sure if this is the right place for it but i just need some help. would there be any problems running a PG turbo mani w/ EWG on a stock turbo? if so, would there be any other mods to help maintain the car and running smoothly? if not, why? any info would be great. thanks everyone

This would be a significant improvement over stock. The main thing you need to be very careful of is that the EWG you use is sized correctly for the application. If it is too small, you will get boost creep, too large and it will be hard to control and dump excessive amounts of boost, creating unneeded lag every time you shift as the boost builds back up.
The manifold will get the exhaust out of the engine and into the turbine more efficiently; finish the equation with a downpipe to let the gasses out the other side. Oh yeah, you really want to consider a tune, too.
 
i was told to go with a 38mm for the EWG for the stock turbo. i also got a full turboback so i'm guessing that should be ok. current mods are fmic, cai, full turboback, bov, and ap. anything else i should take into account? thanks for the reply by the way

Considering how freely that setup will spool, you might want to look into an upgraded fuel pump to meet the upper rpm fuel demands.
Also, you need to find a really good tuner. There will be a temptation to try to extend the powerband too high, which will cause turbo failure eventually when the center shaft melts. You also want to avoid increasing low end torque too much. Bent/broken rods will really ruin your fun.
