Re:costom turbo?
Ya, dude, seriously, all of those questions are actually answered in the FAQ. Which should have been read. Then if that didn't contain an answer, maybe someone had already asked such a generic question.. maybe, uhm, *SEARCH* the forum. I don't know.. that may be a start. Then you probably wouldn't meet a new post with such resistance to answering your questions.

The 14b will not work with the greddy manifold..
you will have to make a costom adapter plate.
the costom downpipe can be made at local exhaust shops, should range from 75-150 bucks mandrel.
I highly doubt AC will work with the setup either..

Re:costom turbo?
you people need to chill, ok first off if its a D16y8 then you should have a pre cat manifold, cut the fucken cat off since you dont need it anyway, hell, i dont use one, and then make a "CUSTOM" adapter Plate out of 1/4" thick steel and weld it on to the manifold, then go and rip apart your little brothers playstation (model:5501) and take out the flat copper sheet of metal(only works with a small turbo) and make yourself a gasket, hell i did that and it worked very good. make sure that you port out the inside of the manifold where the welds are to give you an even smooth exhaust flow, next, you bolt on the turbo.
then you make a "CUSTOM" downpipe or get an exhaust shop to do it. and well then comes all the hooking up of charge pipes and all the rest of the ----, well you can figure the rest out pretty much if you spend enough time on this site, but honestly its worth it, save your money and buy yourself a faster internet connection instead, because a good but custom turbo setup shouldnt cost you more then $600 dollars, and thats in canadian too. i paid like $560 for my turbo setup.
