Rep Power: 257 Is that intercooler really cooling anything. I'm not knocking your turbo at least not yet. I'm really curious to see how it drives after you install it and if the parts even fit. Please keep us updated good or bad.

Rep Power: 399 I'd say you just bought a $750 side mount IC. Cuz the manifold will crack in 2 weeks, there is no downpipe, none of those "charge pipes" are gonna fit, the turbo, if it doesnt leak from the get go, will in no time flat (use an oil restrictor to try and prolong it) and I wouldnt trust a no name wastegate to hold 1 psi. Running all that junk with an SAFC that has no pressure reference is gonna be a disaster. Tuning boost of throttle position is going to be miserable for whoever has to try and make it run right.
Why the hell didnt you just buy good **** from the start? You change the manifold, it moves the turbo, move the turbo you need a new downpipe, a new intercooler hot pipe and a new dump tube.

Rep Power: 0 Im gonna put a custom downpipe, in the picture you can see the flange to do that, and i dont understand why you say that the pipping will doesnt fit, i can cut them to do that, they are from a volvo turbo and dsm, and the wastegate i know that they have no brand, but my friend have one in his integra 97 and they work really good.....actually they have almost the same turbo kit and they work good..

Rep Power: 399 You have a scattered pile of pipes there, half plastic and half what looks to be aluminum, none of which actually continue in the same direction for more that what looks to be a few inches. You cant cut the plastic ones... since the end of it actually serves to keep it stiff and hold the clamp on (since plastic is slick enough that boost would launch a pipe right out of a clamp), and the aluminum ones have stepped ends that actually flare out to accept the coupler. So you cant cut one and butt it to one with a flange since they won't line up with different diameters. What are you planning on doing? Silicone connector every 4"? That doesnt scream boost leak or anything.
Cheap and boost never go together, even still, there's better kits than that on ebay.
You rig it, it'll never work, making some snake of pipes out of a pile of crap won't work, you'll end up with a mess, boost leaks everywhere, and thats even if you can make that pile negotiate around the motor mount, the radiator hose, the battery and transmission then up around the corner to the throttle.
If you trust that taiwanese wastegate, more power to ya. Your only hope is that it blows the fire ring out or jams open, rather than busting the vacuum diaphragm and jamming closed.
Thats honestly just a pile of misc. junk someone must have pulled out of a box somewhere. If you can return it, I would. You should be spending damn near 750 on a turbo alone, not the entire thing.
I dont know any other way to put it than this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Not to really lay it on or anything, but don't say we didnt all warn you. No one's gonna want to hear it in 2 weeks when **** doesnt fit or the motor pops.

Dont listen to all the anti-obx bandwagoners. I have a friend with an OBX set up and pushing 400+ whp and has put over 20000 miles on the 300$ turbo and 150$ manifold. But i do agree that that intercooler piping most likely will not work. Good luck
