lots of traction problems

But most problems seem to be oil line related. Make sure you get a good feed and good drain. More than I can say about my drain atleast, not very good but works for some unknown reason. And just make sure you have the right engine management onboard.

I had some problems with downpipe fitment. Other than that install is very simple and if done correctly shouldn't have any problems.

Fitment for sure.

Anyone thats crammed a B series with a T4 into a CRX knows what I'm talking about. It looks like it fits until you have to get everything else in there...lol.

oil return was a real bitch for me. the steel braided line and 2 -10an 45 degrees angles would not cooperate, fucked with it for like 8 hrs total. threw that **** across the yard then went and bought heater hose never leaked after that. i think its because where turbo sat and where the pan was taped thats what fucked me up.

I had the bolts holding my wastegate onto the manifold flange snap twice. Solved by using better bolts. Attention to detail is key

Remember to put teflon on all your threaded things....I got oil leak since I forgot to put teflon on it....just drops not streaming
