god im afraid to take my heat shield off. if i had an O2 wrench around id have done it by now. i think im going to find a crack the size of a 2x4.

Bryan, I have the wrench you need. I may hit up the RPI garage this weekend to do my oil and some other random crap. Hit me up.

I saw that hiboost manifold not too long ago, I was sooo tempted to get it until I looked at the picture again and saw the flange for the external wastegate

 

[yudkib]

yeah t3 flange + external WG = no good.

 

[HondaEat-R]

Wah Wahh Wahhh.

 

[DelB]

whats so wrong with that i have seen acouple really nice msps with the same set up plus couldnt you plug it with a closed flange (just a thought)

there is nothing wrong with an external wastegate setup. I just don't plan on going that route any time soon. You could probably block it off with some kind of plate or something.

external wastegate is much more reliable, easier to change boost springs and all around a better setup. turbos are generally cheaper to buy.
to me external gating is a win win

What about the EGR pipe?

 

[yudkib]

yeah nothings wrong with external WG i just dont want it right now.

For reals. I'd have a divorced dump pipe too, for Rice effect. I just don't feel like spending the $.

 

[yudkib]

screamer pipe ftw. its the only ricer thing i think is awe-some.

see good deal lol

see good deal lol

not so much a good deal seeing as how a hiboost manifold is a t3 flange and the stock turbo is a t25 flange.. Meaning, a turbo upgrade would be needed to use it..
