Default Got me a Turbo!!!

Well, I finally did it. I went out and bought the turbo yesterday. I bought a Turbonetics T3/T4 and a Spearco FMIC. Now I need to get a manifold and wastegate. Anyone know where I can find one at?

I have pics of the turbo, but my photo hosting page is down for upgrades. *mad*

depends how much money you want to spend. i know rev hard has one for the prelude motor, but it cracks easily and is not all that good. i had a f-max one on my pre;ude and i made excellent power with it. but if you have the money to for a nice manifold, i recommend kiwi manifolds. my friend has a shop that sells them. if you want it, just e mail me. kiwi manifolds are what dr. charles run on his turbo cars.

I have looked at Kiwi manifolds, and they are NICE! However, I am worried about space. This is a street car, and i would like to keep A/C and P/S. I know I can do this with the RevHard and the FMAX, can it be done with the Kiwi?

if you are going to go turbo, you will eventually loose your a/c. i had a f-max kit on my 93 lude and i had a/c for a while. then the turbo got so hot that it snapped my a/c lines. so a/c has to go, unless you have money for new hoses all the time. most turbo kits will kill space, its normal. if i had to get a manifold, it would be a kiwi. it looks nice and it also performs really well. probably the best i've seen on all h22a motors.
