Will do. When I get back in I'm installing this/6152 turbo/ETS i/c kit and currently ordering the intake pipe. Gotta make my downpipe and dumptube pipe. Currently ordering HKS recirc kit/turbo timer and I'm still waiting to hear back from someone on here for an intake manifold! I will be sorely depressed if I have everything ready to go but the intake lol.

your going to have to modify the front motor mount to run that manifold, it pushes the turbo lower.. ill snap a picture of what I did on mine. ( I was running the same manifold on my car). Your not planning on running the stock radiator are you?

I ran into a few issues with that manifold, First was the motor mount, the stock radiator aint fitting in there, I used an afco scirocco core, or you could use a halfy civic radiator. The last issue I had was the heat, there is no way to put a shield on that thing so i just used header wrap (full race says this voids your warranty) but I have a carbon fiber hood and although i love the smell of the fiberglass im positive it would have melted it.

How'd you like the manifold after installed?

here are a few pictures of what I did, First off I just cut the stock mount and flipped the metal over and welded it, came out great, and I still got it on my car like that today. I went with an fp turbo so Im going the simple route and switched back to a stock style manifold, I didnt like the under hood temps with that manifold, I suppose if I had a vented hood it would have been alot better. Its a great manifold, and like 100 pounds.. I just sold mine a few weeks ago for crack money
