You don't need the ring in pic#4. I'd toss it in the trash...

actaully depending on the manifold you do need the ring...just installed one of these on my buddies car he had to use one of the flanges and the ring in order for the wastegate to seal properly otherwise it was leaking exhasut out when the wastegate is suppose to be shut.

Alright thanks for everything but i dont think ill be installing the turbo kit myself it looks like a pain in the *** since i ordered it from ebay and a couple of things dont seem to fit quite as there supposed to be for example the downpipe on the turbo housing is misaligned so.. anyways id rather pay 600$ to get it done properly i guess if not if someone is willing to do it with me and has alot of experience im willing to pay them :P

Thats why you should buy from a real person rather than some girl on ebay that doesnt have a clue. my complete kit fits and the only modification is shortening two charge pipes to fit your car. other than that, its bolt on
