Re: HF manifold won't allow you to keep your A/C?
that is the same thing that im running into. i posted a thread on honda-tech, and there are several companies out there that have manifolds for around 300, but im not willing to spend that much...i just decided ---- a/c, i would rather have a boosted car.

1) Buy a welder and make your own manifold. 
2) Have a tiny and funky downpipe, have the exhaust side of the turbo facing away from the A/C compressor stuff. (May not be possible at all)
3) Lose the A/C.

I might just pay the $350 and go witthe manifold but i will get the DP don elocally and forget the BOV and save themoney that way. many factory turbo cars don't have BOV and they last over 100000k miles just found a place they have the a/c manifold 304L log manifold for $275 shipped not bad
