got the new set up finished a street tuned, liking it mucho!
all in all, i am greatky impressed with the new parts i bought, the manifold and downpipe and from hondatech user SILLY SOHC, and i am pleased with the fit and finish. seems to be a large improvement over my dragIII manifold and turbo. the new wheel in the turbo is the turbonetics Super "V" trim wheel, supposedly moves 55lbs/min. seems a little laggy for my choice even with it being in a "B" housing.
we didnt have time to get on the dyno but re-tuned the hondata on the street for 18psi, feels hella good.
like macdonalds, once again "im luvin it"
thanks to my tuner for being flexible with me, and jay who made the parts

Personally, I would consider adding some camgears before you hit the dyno :-)
They may or may not make a difference, but its worth a try. I have seen cam timing make some nice improvements on some setups.
Regardless, its looking good

I dont usually see heat wrap on the intake charge pipe like that...does it make that much of a difference?

i have em, just havent felt like doing it, we ran out of time because of a friends wedding this saturday so i couldnt get on the dyno, but if i was gonna, i would have slapped them on.
as far as heat wrap goes, im not sure how much it helps, but i always noticed the pipe being warm, probably from simple underhood temps but of course being wrapped like it is, it doesnt get hot. just a simple little set up. i like it alot better than my dragIII set up and this turbo has a alot more in it than my old one

Set-up looks good and so does the mount too. So when do you hit the dyno what management are you running? CLutch?

Yeah not a fan of the Super-V especially for B-series. Just didn't feel like the right turbo. Works great for H-series tho. *shrug*

management is hondata, and clutch is from CM.
not really liking the turbo too much, may call and ask for something different
