Having a crazy setup like that and not knowing anything about it or being a "honda tech" is not a good plan. Build looks fine to me, anything weak will bring itself to the forefront quickly hah

You haven't even listed the brands for most of the parts, how are we supposed to comment on it then?

So everyone is saying ditch the XS WasteGate? If I get a Tial Wastegate should I go with a different BOV as well? It is XS also I think, but seems to be working fine, and also, what is a good manifold to get? The one that is on the car is cracked on the last tube, so i would want to get a new mani and WG at the same time. Also I think I want to turn the Boost down to 6 Psi since I will be running this car in HPDE and driving on the street, i dont want to blow it up. So will I need a Boost Controller Correct? And pics will be UP TONIGHT!

I pasted it from the list of mods on the site I bought it, let me go back and double check everything, does that not sound right?

no the blow off being a xs power is fine, just get the tial wg . . . I have used ebay wastegates with no problems but I also used one that spiked on me . . its a hit or miss. . I would just be on the safe side and get a tial . your blow off is fine though . . . I would get something like a inline pro turbo manifold. . . its all up to you though . .

I would buy the fjr spec rods over the scat because the pistons wont reach the top of the deck with the scat rods resulting in a really low and incomplete combustion.

stick with the bov!!
i have been running and installing these wastegates on cars for a few years now and had no problems. there actually good quality. and obx manifold are decent i have one on my street car in my sig thats running 11.8s and no cracking for 1 year so far. my dads da has a obx ram horn and its running 11.6s and hasnt cracked.
i have a neptune rtp for sale already installed with computer for $300.00 shipped??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/44MM-...Q5fAccessories

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/38MM-...d=p3911.c0.m14

its a neptune rtp computer so u can tune your car. there 600 mine is installed in a obd1 computer so its 175 dollar more than the base 425 price. http://www.phearable.net/shoppingcar...ages-p-40.html

get the obx ramhorn manifold and yes the wastegate is better than yours.
