oh... and just get a used turbo... Buy new and it'll be expensive. Used is good enough, if you have to, you can always rebuild it.

I bought h22 pipes... They are custom fit to my car. You can make anything fit.
hmm.. I think this is my biggest question mark. How do I get these pipes to fit? Do I just go to an exhaust shop or something and show them what I wanna do and they'll custom bend some piping for me? I'm kind of confused here.

look on ebay for pipes... or to save yourself trouble, get the dezod pipe kit with intercooler, it'll fit alot easier with their kit.

If you get a kit for another car, you can just cut it and use hose couplers.

wow it looks like the dezod pipe kit would make things a LOT easier. I think I'll probably end up getting the one without the intercooler since their's with the intercooler is a bit pricey.

I do have a question though. Is this all the piping I'm gonna need.. or is it just the piping for the intercooler?

It is all the pipe you will need... only prob will be finding an intercooler with inlet and outlet on the same side. Thats the problem with dezods kit.

vacf2 will work fine, if you're going to keep stock injectors. But if you plan to upgrade the injectors. Use emanage. But emanage can get kind of expensive.

i've heard our stock trannies are good up to about 300 ponies with a good clutch. once your up in the 300 horse range, tranny go bye-bye.....LOL.

i know our stcok injectors are 240cc, with vfac2 is that enough to support 8 to 10 psi?

vafc2 have nothing to do with boost. It pretty much controls the air fuel ratio.

hmm e-manage only seems to be 100 - 150 dollars more than the VAFC2. And that's only because you gotta buy the windows program. Is there something else that you need to buy to make it work that I'm missing?

you need to buy harnesses and ish... but vafc will work for the time being. if you are on a budget.

budget is my key word. I'm gonna have to do this one part at a time, more than likely.

by the way, this thread kicks ass.

When is your set up gonna be done Blahman?

ahh.. yea.. I may just got for the vafc2 for the time being then. I'll just get the RSX injectors and emanage later.

Will I be able to push 8 - 10 PSI using the vafc2 and using stock injectors?

and definitely keep us updated on how your s**t is going blah.

Thanks for all the help so far!
