Who's red Conquest was that, was that your girls? I almost bought one once, love those cars. Pretty quick.
With the DSM manifold, did you just have to redrill them, or did you have them professionally redone?
What exhaust do you have on it, from the downpipe back?
Nice "Acclipse", btw

your prob. spool'n a little slow b/c the puck on the wastegate isn't "FULLY" seated on the turbine housing. Of course, if you tighten the wastegate up, the peak boost will increase.
Looks good. I'll prob. do a simular accord project in the next year for a friend of mine. His auto accord LX is in the top 5 slowest cars I've ever driven, but its kinda quick on the nitrous I put in it.
