i ordered my hiboost directly from juan and i upgraded from the hks to the rs (so the pipe he sent had a greddy flange). i assume that if you order directly from juan he will send the pipe with the correct flange.

yea thats what i meant, directly through hiboost. i like the sound of the rs and i have never had any problems with it. i am running the dual bpv/bov setup. the rs bov is on the throttle body pipe and the stock bpv is on the hot pipe. i rarely get turkey and i have to be at low rpm and blow off to get any at all.

if you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask!

Hi..
I am putting this exact setup on my car on friday.
Did you need to take a spring out of the rs?
can you tell me the adjustments you had to do to get the blowoff right?.
where did you tap in for your vac-nipple?
thanks doug.

MAM doesnt make the tubular manifold anymore so that is a no go. I wouldnt bother getting an underdrive pulley. If your not dead set on the apexi turbo timer you can pick up a greddy one for 70 bucks at turboimport.com. i oughta pick up atleast the awr front motor mount before you get anything else. it will help a ton with the wheel hop!

Im buying all the parts at once,except the guages,the turbo timer and the underdrive pulley cuz i allready have them.I got the pulley out of my ES before i traded it in,the stock crank pulley weight like 20 pounds.I read somewhere on this forum that MAM still makes the tubular manifold its casted now tho,they are still selling them @ theyre website.I also want to upgrade to 440cc injectors i just dont know how well they would work with the Unichip.

the pulley is a great combo for a lighter flywheel as well... this was a usefull convo between you two! PM me if you need anything from us over at ProtegeGarage... we will hook you up with that lightened flywheel, you will feel a pull from that $150 UD pulley then!

I wouldn't get the corksport exhaust either. Instead, I would look into getting the midpipe from ProtegeGarage (w/ or w/out the high flow cat) and getting whatever catback exhaust you want. The corksport metal is very thin and has problems with cracking. It is not simply solved with stiffer motor mounts.

Wish i would have heard that before,i already bought the downpipes(SJ)Which other exhaust could i run from the downpipe back?

oh the s+j pipes are great, its the rest of the exhaust thats miserable (in my opinion). If you want the best you can buy at this point, get the vibrant exhaust . Unfortunately it will replace the j pipe you already have (but thats not the expensive part anyway). You can also look into the Perrin exhaust. Do some searches, many exhausts will mate up to the corksport s+j pipe.

I was starting to think that theres a reason why that exhaust is not that expensive,I mean i heard people say they havent had any problems with it but well i have till october to make up my mind about the exhaust,trying to save money on parts so that ill have enough left over for some Work emotion CR's!
