Default Just for the record.

Turbocharging a RSX is nothing short of a pain in the ASS! Just needed to vent. The car runs good but I need to solve an exhaust leak from the turbo to the DP.

Yeah that shit aint too cool, especially when the manifold was designed on an engine stand and not on a motor in a car.

Well it wasn't a leak at the downpipe but a fucking cracked manifold. The dick that sold it to me patched it with JB weld or something and coated it to cover it up. Car is at the shop now getting the manifold fixed. Pics will be up when I get it back this week.

so far the best and easiest manifold/turbo kit for those cars has been the cybernation kit. You can actually get to the manifold bolts with a tool without cutting the nuts almost in half.
