So if your pipes are welded, theres no chance of a leak? You yave no coupler connection points, no couplers for your intercooler? No vac lines?


Right, what manifold are you using? Pat, my .02 is that you're being cheap in the wrong ways. You cheaped out on a turbo. No bueno. But you not only cheaped out on a turbo, but a manifold too? And now you're willing to buy a big turbo (which needs a t4 single or twin scroll flange) on a smallsmallsmall T25 flange? Not to mention the turbo won't even fit

I very strongly suggest you rethink things. We're trying to help, and you're not listening very well. You get what you pay for in every aspect of life. There are budgets and ballers, but in the end there is one timeless concept that one should always abide to:

Fast - Reliable - Cheap.
Pick two.

If it' fast and cheap, it's not reliable. If it's reliable and cheap, it's not fast.
If it's fast and reliable, it's not cheap.
No I'm listening. I admitted I went the cheap route. I've talked to comp turbo he said it would fit. Idc at this point bc I'm about to trade it with a guy for an s2000. Want something rwd. Probably end up doing a k20 swap in it and turbo it the right way this time around considering this was the first time and it was a learning experience.
