Ebay turbo kits

No, not in the key of C. An H is likely involved though ...

the manifolds that have the problems tend to be the showy ramhorn stylee although the cast log manifolds are cheaper to buy and longer lasting. If you sign up to Honda-tech they have a monthly for sale thread in the drag racing section plenty of top turbo kit comes up for sale on there.

My mani came with plenty of bracing, but I made a huge bracket to hold the turbo, so the manifold only directs gas, it doesn't hold anything taking all the load of it! As for the kit - It all seems like ok stuff! Its by no means a killer kit, but for the money its worth every penny. If you find my thread... There is some pictures and video's I think.. Although I have not updated it much lately!

i'm going to make my own manifold and use a turbo off a popular tried and tested reliable car that's cheap to buy second hand. hopefully no turbo problems that way ;)

I can get the turbo and H22 cast manifold from these ebay kits direct from the supplier.

id much rather use a ebay cast manifold than a ebay tubular one. but bracing the turbo so the mani doesnt support the weight is a good idea if you use one

Hmm...

I MAY be able to get the intercooler pipe work. I can definitely get a universal intercooler, turbo and cast manifold.
