oh, and i am about to purchase an XSpower super rfl bov, 50mm wastegate (large i know but brand new), and pretzel header... im thinking about going up to rc750's since according to the performance calcs, ill more than likely max out my duty cycle on 440's before i hit my 300whp goal

I would use the hondata s300 instead since it has boost control. Also you just said pretzel header.... maybe a little more specific....

yea i heard that some tuners prefer the s300 over the s200... the header is an XSpower acura integra b seriers turbo manifold, and i have a greddy profec b-spec II boost controller

as soon as i get the kit installed (hopefully early this coming year) i will be taking it to church automotive in wilmington, CA, for tuning the next day... buddy of mine brought his WRX there and they squeezed out 643whp... from what ive been reading on here, a tune will make or break your application, even in low boost

Just try to stay away from high sodium manifolds. They tend to dehydrate your chassis and clog up your wastegate.

Seeing as how my last 3 posts were troll-posts, yes.

Stay the heck away from XSpower, SS-autochrome and all that ebay junk. I still don't know what you mean by "pretzel header", and when you say "XSpower acura integra b series turbo manifold", there are like 6 different styles to choose from, so we still don't know what you're talking about.

If anything, I thought you were referring to a ramhorn manifold, because two of those pretzels on top of each other would KIND OF resemble a ramhorn, but then you mentioned that you didn't get the ramhorn, so I am at a loss to help you there.

Anyway, when it comes down to it, your manifold will probably start cracking after a month, and it doesn't come with any type of warranty. Like I said, stay away from cheap, shitty ebay brands.

Look into the following brands:

Full-race
go-autoworks
rc autoworks
spoolin performance
synapse turbo

Yeah that thing will fall apart.

expect to pay three times that for JUST the manifold; no WG or gaskets, if you want something quality that will last and has a lifetime warranty.
