yeh the kit isnt too bad. i was going to go this one myself, but found out it would be cheaper to just purchase the manifold and wastegate from them and source everything else locally. also if you only want to run low boost, just use a turbo with a internal wastegate, no need to always go external.

i am kinda new to the turbo area im not shore about much do i need a wastgate? what is a wastgate? and what do you mean about internal and external
how much boost do you want to be running once everything is complete?if you plan to run massive boost eg. 20psi + you should go for a external wastegate. your wastegate will open up to regulate how much pressure is allowed through the turbo etc. the stiffer your spring, the more pressure is needed to open it up etc.
all of the full-race manifolds will have a pipe that comes out to the side/s this is where the external wastegate is connected. where any stock turbos will have a little round wastegate attached to the front half of the turbo. ive seen ppl use the full race manifold and run a turbo with the external wastegate port blocked off, but majority of ppl (including myself) use the external port as they are chasing big power with big boost.
how this helps you out abit. just look up what parts other ppl are using and research the product to give you a better understanding of what everything does and help you choose a turbo setup more suited to you needs.
how much u looking at spending on a manifold because a steam pipe manifold is a much beter option
it may not look at flashing as a stainless manifold but its alot stronger it also works alot beter by keeping the heat trap in the manifold
the more heat u are able to keep inside the manifold the more power u will make
well i dont know how much to spend at this piont of time as im still wating on the new motor (b18c) im geting the motor just under 3000 and to install it i have no idea about 2000 3000
alot of people will look at a manifold and just because its bling bling doesnt mean its beter
stainless steel no where near can handel as much heat as steam pipe ive seen the top brand manifolds such as HKS and TRUST manifolds crack due to heat
if u have the budget to go steam pipe manifold i highly recommend it over a stainless manifold

Hey bro i got the same Manfiold...got it custom made but it looks exactly the same as that. My setup looks very similar to yours. After running 3 types of Stainless mainfolds and all of them falling appart over the last 2 yrs ive ended up spending a little extra and getting one of these and i havent had one hickup yet. Also Good to see someone else not in it for the BLING.
Integra90LS - Deffiantly listen to the guys on here, i can also say that i wish i was at your point with the info i know now. When i started i did a heap of research i just bought every part on the planet and thought it would be cool to chuck it all together. After blowing the motor, going through 3 manfiolds, 2 wastegates, 3 turbo's, two intercoolers, different intercooler piping setups, 2 ECU's I just wish i listened to someone in the first place and did it properly. In the end ive got what i wanted. But it cost me around $5000 extra, and a shitload of problems.
Do it the right way to begin with, Buy quality parts, Dont get a big turbo get something nice and even for your motor size. and most important of all is get a really good tune.
