^ Nothing that a little paint can't fix (The sexy part)... and not having to deal with unichip tuning.... PRICELESS. Hate how only "Certified" shops can work with it and such...

I dare say.... there is some BSP sexyness in my hood, IMHO.

And Mike, Check out my thread about Nitrous when N/A... has all the prices/info/tech junk for it... Don't want to take this thread off topic...

I wish I had the Greddy Manifold though.

About the teflon on the oil line. The stainless line have a rubber oring seal which I didnt know about. There is no need for a thread seal there.

nothing wrong with internal wastegate unless you plan on pushing big number.

Exactly, on such low boost 8.5psi an Internal Gate works well.

Of course, that's the popular opinion but i had some issues with my interal wastegate on my garret t25 in my civic. Daily i ran ~8-9lbs and after about 10,000 miles on the turbo the flapper started sticking and spiking over 13lbs from time to time. Thats only why i say the internal wastegate was killing it for me. Just from that experience. Plus an external just looks niiiiice, haha.
