Hey, just got my tial wastegate from b18bturbo ...now by looking at the manifold, it seems like the wastegate sits just on top. Will I be able to close the hood with no problem or will I need to get an elbow for the wastegate?

 

WHAT DOWN PIPE ARE U RUNNING AND IS IT THE 5 BOLT MANIFOLD

 

3" downpipe....yes 5 bolt

 

What kind of car you putting this on?

 

teggy

 

i don't know how much bigger the 38mm is to the 35mm in physical dimensions, but i've got the 35mm and the inlinepron mani. i haven't had any problems with the hood closing. hope this helps.

 

Looke from underneath the car and close it gently, if you slam it, you may put a nice sized dent in the hood and that would really suck.

 

i dont have my manifold yet...just wonderin in case illl need to buy an elbow so i can do so now instead of wait another weeek

 

Yes it will fit w/no clearance issues.

 

It will fit.

I got the same exact setup

 

Will the hood still close with the top port on that goes to the boost controller?

 

I know that some civics have problems with that fitting clearing to hood. I've seen a few pictures now with the famous pea sized dent in the hood
I'm going to see if mine clears as soon as the rest of my turbo toys get here and everything starts to go on the car. But just in case, I have one of those elbows. The only drawback to that is that you can't run a dumptube and the blown off exhaust gas just goes wherever.
Just something to think about.

 

If you have a GSR or LS in a civic it is going to hit.( B16 is fine). I learned the hard way broke my CF hood.

 

On 3rd gen Integras, I am aware that it clears perfectly...

just a heads up once again!

 

should be fine

 

it will clear, but if have a civic (which you don't) the top brass fiitting for an EBC will hit the underside of the hood
