manifold/wastgate. the mani seems pretty sturdy and comparable to other "nice"(name brand) cast manifolds ive seen. ive heard lots of bad things about the stainless steel tubular syles, but never about cast versions. we'll see...
as for the w/g, a few people i know use these. theyre basically knock-offs styled after tials

intercooler and piping. fmic has "jdm sport" stamped into the top. piping appears to be well made, thick walled with rolled edges.





the charge pipe has a flange for an hks/style "ssqv". im optimistic to see how it sounds.



"ssqv style bov"


i also have a tial type bov from a civic kit. it worked well and sounded great

Where do these kids even find out about fmu's? Who still promotes them as being an acceptable form of honda fuel management? The are just barely less expensive than having your ecu chipped and buying dsm 450's, and wayyyyyy more likely to blow up your engine. Seriously, an fmu should be your last option to use in desperation, if at all. NOOOB, will you please, for the sake of all that is not retarded, have your ecu chipped by someone like xenocron with a free basemap and buy some injectors? $70-75 for the chipping and basemap and ~$50 for injectors, and you have full fuel and timing management that is later easily tuneable for more power and reliability, with much higher boost, whereas with the fmu you're only going to be run 5psi or less before destroying your stock injectors, and you won't have any timing control. SERIOUSLY, where did you learn about fmu's? Is there some site on the internet that recommends them? Do you have an assfaggot friend that wanted to rape your anus and recommended one to you? Did your daddy abuse with his 4 inch noodle dick as a child? DO NOT USE THE FMU. .end rant.
