okay here is the description and costs.

greddy Manifold + TD04H + Greddy downpipe + Vortech FMU = $600 US ($850 Canadian 4 months ago)

Oil Line from summit racing = $50 US

Misc Brass Ts//fittings + hoses = $40 US

PVC charge pipes = $10 US

Fuel Line + Vaccum lines = $10 US

New O2 sensor (cus my old one was bolted to hard to my old ECU) = $35

grand total of $845 Bucks plus or minus $25 for Canadian to Us Exchange rate and small nick nacks.

there is a leak on my oil line to the turbo which makes it smoke quite a bit. other than that it is pretty solid, the PVC charge pipes are fantastic.

I will boost the thing up a bit when it stops raining and I can do a bit of street tuning. I was slipping all over last night.

oops sorry i mean because it was bolted too hard to my manifold. my buddy took it to a shop and they could not get it out, they heated it up and did the works. That little bitch was in that hole for fucken good. I ended up buying an O2 sensor off my buddy. I hate this rain, I was so looking forward to driving my car afterwork but the rain came and the roads are to slippery to boost.

btw what happens when you do not use fish tank valves on your map sensor? I have been boosting and have not had the chance to put the valves in. does it just ---- up ur fuel economy? thanks guys

It really pisses the MAP sensor off, makes him have a bad day, so he goes to the ECU and kicks everyone out and throws up a CEL on the dash....

Usually only happens before like 6psi... Honda MAPs just cant hold their boost...
