Default Just Bought My First Turbo Kit ....

Hey just bought my first turbo kit and i wanted to ask a few questions ..... The kit I have

Rev Hard t3/t04 turbo
Rev Hard Manifold
Delgate Mark2 wastegate
Greddy BOV
Greddy Turbo Timer
8 inch IC

Now For Random Questions

1. The Downpipe it came with was messed up , where can i order a new one ?
I have to get a Rev Hard Specific downpipe right ?


2. How hot does the manifold get ? Would 1200 temp paint be fine to paint it ? It looks dirty now so i wanted to make it look nice

3 Im missing misc gaskets where can I purchase them...


4 I paid 1400 bucks for the kit used with a Brand New IC ..... Was that a fair price ?


Thanks in Advance

1200 degree paint... or any paint for that matter will be insufficient. Only ceramic coating will stand up to it.

have an exhaust shop fab up a new downpipe for you

gaskets... depends on what. there are some places online, but it won't be easy!!

$1400 is peanuts... I spent way more on my simple-*** kit.

1. We have RH downpipes on the shelf.

2. High temp paint won't work. Ceramic coating is a better option.

3. We have turbo gaskets on the shelf.

4. You made out. That's a good price.

You can keep the same piping if you wanted to, just get reducer couplers

project dc2 what would be the difference between your downpipe compaired to a
rev hard from race specialists for $128.00

And how much is it for the intercooler piping in 2.5 inch ? I have a gsr in a 93 hatchy with a 99 front end ........if that helps

Sounds like you got quite a good price. As far as a downpipe, just take it to any exhaust shop and they should be able to put one one.
