no, manifold has not been purchessed yet. there was like three that poped up when i typed in "f22 turbo" on ebay. i was just told that a cast mani would be the way to go. and i don't even know if the turbo's foot pattern is the same as the manifold bolt up. its not an acura that im turboing. but that sight had a lot of info that will be needed.

What turbo did you purchase? Maybe you should look into using a DSM manifold :P
