We had to cut off stock down pipe near the flange so my new down pipe isn't connected and my car sounds like a V-8. Everything sounds really nice. I want to thank Stan2gnt and dsmnt96 for their help on putting on the kit these past 2-2 long days of no sleep. Stan doesn't sleep but still got the job done and I couldn't be happier. All I need to do is buy a harness for my Apexi turbo timer and Im going to a meineke tomorrow to get the down pipe on correctly along w/ 2 3/4" piping from the cat back. IM FINALLY TURBO.. NO MORE SLOW CAR. -Dave

Just got back from getting downpipe connected to the cat so my car doesn't sound like a V-8. Ill miss it but I had a nice test drive this mornning. Boosting 4 1/2-5 PSI intercooled w/ ease. Hopefuly I can wait a week until I put on Stans manual boost controller before I move PSI to 7-8. Also waiting for his A/F gauge and an extra HKS BOV to sell. Already a Accord raced me yesterday when I still had the downpipe off so I barely boosted and still spanked him w/ my V-8. Im looking for to getting in a couple kills from stupid people w/ Civics who cant see my gauges hidden in my bezel pod. Time for work PEACE -Dave

Yup that is correct you have to drill a hole into the oil pan so you can feed the turbo with the oil that it needs. But if you ask me a turbo is a pretty basic install if you good with workin on cars. But there are some hard parts to it for example that damn downpipe, those things don't like to come off too easy. I have done a couple on my friends rides, it helps if you have someone there lookin over your shoulder that knows what he is doing. Why wont your dad help you if you have to drill a hole for the oil line?

Dude, can you do me a favor? Make a small digital video of your car reving or racing? I think i just.... ya that's a tear. See, look what you did - I never heard what it sounded like from the outside of the car.

actually the drilled hole is for the oil drain, the oil supply comes from the oil pressure sensor tee on the back of hte block, but you may not be able to drill the hole yourself. none of the drills in my house were big enough to hold a 3/4 inch bit in them, so i took it to the shop and they drilled me for free...ugh...yea
