opinions on using hf turbo manifold?
I'm only considering it because of the HUGE price difference. if you advise against this then i'll go for one of the BmC manifolds.
this will be paired up with the saab turbo. i think its a t3 .42/.48 ?
one mroe thing. someone mentioned that the stock exhaust mani on my 97 dx can also be used. this true?
i'm new to boost and plan on peicing together a hmt setup by next summer.
its nice to be here, hope you all can help

i can't find how to edit my messages.. but i was reading on ht that the cat is actually one peice with the manifold. and some people have just cut it off and then fabbed up a flange to the manifold. i think i'll just buy an hf mani. they are cheap anyways. and i live in ny so i have a decent amount of rust on the underbody and on bolts in the engine bay so i'll replace whatever i can i suppose

use a 96-00 civic dx manifold.. cut the cat off then mig weld a plate on it for the turbo to bolt on.. ill post picts soon on how i did mine.. it costs nothing at all maby 10.00 for a junkyard or find a friend who removed there stock dx manifold for a 4-2-1 header and take it.. cut the cat off at the end of it and get 3/8" plate and weld it on and cut out the hole for the exaust to flow through its a nice clean setup.. you can even take alum or diamond plate to make a sexy heat shield.. PM me for picts or more info...

k i've decided to go with the std manifold. if for some reason i really can't find one, i'll settle for an hf. my mani is pretty rusted and i'd rather not hassle with having to hack it up and stuff. this is my daily driver so it'd be nice to have all the boost stuff read when i'm set to install it.
thanks again guys
