Default install question?? i searched

hey guys i tried searching but i got nothing


would it be ok to put my charge piping, bov, and fmu on and then drive it down to get the downpipe made???? or would that screw everything up?? should i just take the manifold and turbo down there and have them fab it up and then install everything afterwards??

Don't let a local shop build up something for you unless they know how to build dp's for turbo hondas. What I mean is don't expect local Meineke to build you a dp without have it all on the car. Either order one from a vendor on here who knows what he is doing, or drive there carefully.

I would just order it here:

i totally understand the "do things right the first time" NOW.... im on my second time, and yes the guy im goin to build turbo setups for everything, and i have known him for years and he does amazing work so im not worried about it.....so your saying that i can drive it there and nothing will happen to my engine??? without the backpressure wont it bend a valve??

I am definatly not saying nothing will happen, I have no idea. I am pretty sure that if the turbo is on the car is will be providing the backpressure. I don't think an open downpipe at that point would create anymore.

Why don't you just call up the shop and see what they reccomend? Good luck!
