Default Any problems with an FMAX kit on 02 accord manual transmission?

I did some research and found lots of problems with turbo's on auto transmissions. However, I have a 5-spd. Anyone know of any problems with the FMAX on the manual transmission?

No? Honduh.com has alot of boosted 6th gens... you might want to check that out for answers. But long story short, there have been a lot of blown F23's recently... specifically the ring lands... ie. It might not be the best choice unless you plan on building the motor first.

Again, most of it's been covered on http://www.honduh.com ... search over there, there are a couple post about random forged F23 internals from various companies, that I honestly don't remember off hand.
