Whoa, yea, do some reading before you fork out that kinda money for a mani, you haven't bought it yet have you?

no, manifold has not been purchessed yet. there was like three that poped up when i typed in "f22 turbo" on ebay. i was just told that a cast mani would be the way to go. and i don't even know if the turbo's foot pattern is the same as the manifold bolt up. its not an acura that im turboing. but that sight had a lot of info that will be needed. >:D

What turbo did you purchase? Maybe you should look into using a DSM manifold :P

I sure hope you swapped out the f22a based on your name, but anyways you can run a dsm mani with some modification I suggest a titanium bit and a high speed drill I'm almost done modding my'n. Since you already bought that turbo I guess your stuck with it so make an adapter plate. I'm going to be running a dsm mani, t25(too small),
dsm injectors, dsm bov, thats it for the dsm parts that will be on mine. Should be posting about a mn hmt meet soon for the install as soon as all parts come in the mail.

I could be mistaken, but ain't those the odd ball flange turbos?

Also sell your car and buy this.

Or make him an offer on his kit.

Re: 1st turbo 4me.
 
no, sinisterCRX posted the wrong "item number", the one i purchessed had only a simple discription, with no pic. i read all the "feed back" responces on the seller. he has a 100% positive with no nuetral feed back. but the number that sinisterCRX posted, may be similar to the one i purchessed. i'll post the info when she arives. 8)
