you want a different manifold. i wouldnt trust OBX. theyre infamous for cracking welds. look for HKS. not sure on the downpipe. look at full race.

Really? You have to admit it looks nice. I'm trying to get everything including fuel managment for around $2000. I'm going to get a OBD0 ecu chipped, but do I need a FMU also?

its not about looking nice. its about function. OBX is known to crack welds. if you want a manifold that looks like that that performs like a manifold should then you want a Full Race manifold.

that turbonetics kit looks decent but i know people have had problems with turbonetics fitting.

Nothing is good enough for you!

that downpipe won't work with that turbo, the turbo has a 5 bolt flange for the downpipe, but the dp connects with a 4-bolt flange.

yeah im picky when it comes to parts. IMO you should do it right the first time instead of wasing money on crap and then having to get somethign good. then you paid the money for the good thing AND the bad thing. better to just not pay for the bad thing.
