Re:new set up for the civic
I used them on one dsm project I did along long time ago, I never could get the ******* to seal. I recommend factory rings, or aftermarket (chromoly top/cast 2nd)
250whp is pushing it with the greddy kit, btw why in the hell are you building your engine? your stock engine can take 200whp without building it. I guess if you build it up, your engine will be ready later on when you decide to upgrade the turbokit.
god I hate the word greddy.. no offense

Re:new set up for the civic
yes you will have to redo your entire kit pretty much because you have.. (my fav word again) the Greddy kit, which has a homo exhaust flange on it, why didnt they just put a t3 flange on that ------- kit anyways. Oh well you do have the option to upgrade to the TD05 18g Greddy turbo, but I'm sure thats like 900 dollars alone, when you could get a t3/t4 that could out perform for 450 bucks.
Oh well,
Oh well,
