    anyways i have a feeling the next thing that will need replacing is one of the gaskets. on either the turbo, wastegate or dump. that was my next thing....then the welds on the turbo manifold.

    i think those kits are just an overall kit for all cars and makes...but if you request for a CIVIC they will give you the manifold and intercooler piping just to change the kit specific for your car...otherwise for Nissan or toyota they seem very similar....thats why they give u like Every single connection so it makes it easier for them to not have complaints for missing parts. Mind you i had my screamer pipe missing. but its not like im going to Call US and be like Hey u didnt send me the screamer pipe...

    dont worry tho dude once u got all the problems sorted u will be happy u only spent $800 to start with...but in 2 yrs time u will think to urself...why didnt i just wait and spend $2000...
    I must say the $2080 GReddy Kits very well built

    I'm happy with the extra cash I paid for pice of mind..

    Not one leak as yet..

    One week only then she's be installed

    Someone probably just said that it would be "ok" without one so they decided to knock em off cheaper without the cooler. lol

    IMO, do it right the first time.
    Yeah it is!!

    Intercooler is an upgrade option offered by GReeddy but not included in there stock kit but still states there safe.. should only be a week or two till she's installed anyway
