I just came across this thread... I didnt realized the turbo was that much of a reality.... anyways.. I have done a lot of searching but still have a few questions... This looks like a great kit. I have an EX.. now since the o2 sensor is on the downpipe and under the car on the cat, how will this effect anything? Do I replace the whole downpipe/cat combo with a new downpipe, that bolts to the exhaust? Keep in mind the cat is welded to the downpipe on the EX. Or does the turbo just bolt on to the existing downpipe? Also if I get a new downpipe with the kit that replaces the cat, what takes care of the o2 sensors so the CEL doesn't come on? Sorry if these questions were answered, I just didn't get any straight forward info.... Hopefully you understand what I mean. Thanks.

Also, i was lookin in my engine bay and was wondering if the intercooler pipes would work because I have the KMS manifold... Do you know that the KMS manifold won't get in the way of installing the piping? Mike said I would have my kit tomorrow by 1030am... I paid extra for next day delivery... I'll be installing this all by myself from 12-6 tomorrow. I know I probably won't finish it but then I have saturday from 8am-5pm and sunday from 12-5pm... I'll be able to do it, right?

Maverick, Mike is at fedex as we speak shipping your kit.

IDQcivic, we do not touch the stock downpipe. you leave your entire exhaust system except for the manifold. Our downpipe hooks into the stock downpipe for easy installation. So you leave your midpipe/cat combo on the car.

SWEET! because I ordered the random technology cat/downpipe... it should be here next week... so that would probably work better with the turbo than the stock cat since its a high flow cat... this turbo kit is so tempting.... damn credit cards! Anyways... I already have 50k on my car so I'm not sure if its worth it...
