I cut mine off and ran a tube to the ground because my buddy will pass my inspection like that.
If you want, bolt the manifold to the turbo and then the downpipe put a few bolts in and take it to a shop and have them weld the flange together. Like have them match it up while its all bolted together but not on your car, so you will save time on the day of the install.

Seems like a tough weld while on the car,
Good luck man.

i am in the process of piecing together a kit and so far i have $359 in a log style mani, t3/t4 turbo, bov, oil pressure gauge. i still need injectors and the mafia and a j&s and a wideband and a boost a pump and an intercooler. i have my eye on a cheap set of siemens 60# injectors. the only thing not name brand i have is my manifold. its all about how you shop.

I think you are confused. I don't have the OBX setup. When I said "I already have all my parts," I meant I already have my setup. I have Top Speed manifold and downpipe.

Why do you need J&S? Doesn't look like you have an SVT. Also, unless you are going for over 400whp, you don't need the KB BAP.

You dont need a bap and J&S with a ZX3

[bmylez]

Ahhh, sad times. Yeah, the J&S ain't cheap. Easy to install, though.

Wow never seen a kit like that. If you get that, scrap that turbo for a good Garret one or something, then it might not be too bad as long as there are no fitment issues. OBX makes good exhaust components. It just looks like you would need injectors, tune and maybe a couple other small things. Although I don't know anything about turbos so i could still be wrong.

well you got to pay to play. i am just trying to do it as cheap as possible and so far im off to a good start. i just started a job a week ago and got to catch up on some bills before i buy anything else unfortunately.
