    2) if you take care of your turbo and dont beat on it constantly it will last and the mani that comes with your kit wont crack but i wouldnt get that exact mani because of where the wastegate is located what you want to get is a waste gate that is connected to all the exhaust runners and not just one!
    example
    bad:

    good

    3)if you get a missing like mapsensor bypass and a fmu you will be good for up to 8 psi so you wont have to get a tune but i still highly recomend it!
    4)you have to drill a hole,tap and weld a fitting in!

    DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY.

    FMU will get you RUNNING. Not safely driven by any means. Don 't waste you money on a missing link either.

    Get a good map sensor, and get a tune. Tune is EVERYTHING in a turbo motor. You'd be lucky to last a month with out a tune.

    I'm running 12psi with an ebay kit, tuned on my b20 and it works phenomenal

    The only thing he was right about is the manifold. Get one where the waste gate will let exhaust out of all 4 cylinders, not one where the gate is on one of the tubes.

    IF YOU READ WHAT I POSTED YOU WILL SEE THAT I STILL HIGHLY RECOMEND GETTING IT TUNED BUT IF HE DOESNT WANT TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY THEN THE MISING LINK AND FMU IS THE WAY TO GO!S SO
    He Alone Is God...Prepare For His VICTORY!!!
