Default I have a 2 questions I need answer about my turbo setup

ok here's the 1st one do I need to replace the stock map sensor if I'm only running 5 to 7lbs of boost? I have the hondata with boost option

2nd one I have an issue with my radatior and turbo manifold setup, with my manifold and my turbonatice mounted it set way to close to the radatior were the top hose connects... there's no way to put the hose back on...but what I was think that if maybe I can run a smaller radatior like from a civic so I have room for my setup and then run the fans on all the time I think it my work... what do you guys think? do you think I would have cooling problems?

You shouldn't have to replace the stock map sensor unless you're boosting higher than that.

You can definately run a smaller radiator. Or get an aftermarket radiator thats the same size.

What kind of manifold are u using?

H22 swapped civics run their stock rad all the time and make well over 400hp.

Any civic rad. should work just make sure it is a dual core.

No A/C will not be affected at all by the rad. change.
