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
