Don't get your panties in a bunch there, I was in a bad mood when I posted most of this ----. FYI I'm almost 30, really wish I was 20 again. If you haven't noticed I really don't care for Honda at all anymore, so don't get offended when I bad mouth them. In the long run they can be a real nightmare, built or unbuilt, quality parts or chinese. ATM I'm having more fun building and tuning various DSM's.quote]
its cool , i was a little outta line. i apologize

I'd never use their turbo's. You'd have better luck buying a junk yard turbo and rebuilding it.
A local is running a china turbo/mani.
With less than 1000 miles, the manifold cracked in 4 different places and the turbo has in-out shaft play like a mother.It doesn't have a restrictor, so that may be part of the reason why it blew out so early. He also boosts to 25psi
The manifold can be dealt with. All he did was re-weld whatever needed to be welded and braced it some. It's solid now.
The turbo......yea. Even if rebuilt with true Garrett seals, they're going to blow. I doubt those things are even balanced properly.
The knock off bov's sound like ----, but work. I'd rather use a DSM bov tho.
MBC's? Home Depot owns.
WG's? I would never cheap out on something so important. Tial is the only one I'd use.
