the buddy club was a bitch! It depends where you order it. I dont know personally i would just get a press on kit. But if you getting a kit i like the octane kit. A very nice kit. But the buddy club looks nice. If you are getting a buddy club kit sell me your stock front bumper and back. please!!!!!!!!!!

looks like someone took the stock ex manifold and welded a flange to it. You got pics of the fuel system? what does it consist of?

That turbo manifold is funky lookin'. Looks like a hacked up DC Sports header. Is that what it is? I see a hacked up AEM CAI as the intake piping. Is the turbo so close to the fan that it had to be taken out? That kinda sucks. What psi are you runnin'? What fuel system mods do you have? If any, 'cause I notice them on your future modifications list. WHat air/fuel ratio do you get at WOT? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

the headers are made from the stock header. The fuel system i have is the apexi vafc, 450 injectors and a walboro 225 fuel pump. thats it for now. Whats up with the negative feed back? i dont have air conditioning because there is what so ever room. that is a aem cold air intake. He used that for the piping. The set up is not the best but its really good! I love it! but hey i'd rather pay 1600 dollars than what some other people pay.

I'm really curious because I'm making a turbo kit of my own.

not trying to be negative, but now I know why your "kit" was 1600. Good luck with the manifold, most manifolds that I've seen crack under lots of heat.

how much fuel are you having to pull from idle? does the Computer have any problems controlling the injectors? Also since hondas have a returnless fuel system have they switch to a MAP sensor? if so how are you keeping the MAP from seeing boost?

the guy got a way to work around the computer. my car's computer thinks that my car is running stock. the only problem i am having right now is my fuel system. I am getting 550 injectors, a walboro 255 fuel pump and a apexi v afc. That should hold my 5 psi. the manifold will be fine. all comments are good as long as there not hating. thanks for the comments

so you have no fuel system as it sits now?

I'm sure the guy used a zener diode ( to limit the amount of voltage) so that your map sensor wouldn't see boost.

good luck on the rest of the project, happy boosting [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

PS since your taking the pump out why not mod it to use a FMU? this way you can raise the amount of pressure at the injectors. 550's seem overkill for 5 psi and the V-AFC might not compensate that much.
