Hello everyone
 

Names Jacob. I drive a 97 Civic ex. She's been boosted once before, but that was years ago and i was using a vafc hack which worked like crap. Next i was planning on doing an all motor ls. Scrapped that idea, so now im going back to boost. But the proper way. Im keeping the internals stock and going to run about 8psi. Here is what I have so far

Airesearch T3 .63 hot .48 cold

Chipped P06 with Vtec added

Turbosmart Ultragate 38mm wastegate

HKS SSQV

DSM 440 Blue tops

Im def. going with a ebay cast manifold. Just not sure which one to get. Want to make sure I can keep my a/c. I live in florida.

Either the cx racing - (Longer runners, not sure if it will affect ac)
Generic everyday cast ebay manifold. (cheap, but turbo is centered on the runners, has anyone had problems retaining a/c with any of these manifolds?)

welcome to the forum!!!!
