well, some will say that the turbo from the ebay kit is no good, but I have had good luck so far.

well, the actual pipes fit just fine. but when you put the cross member back on, you will be in for a surprise.

the front to back crossmember will have to be cut and welded to allow clearance for the up-pipe.

other than that, they fit great.

oh yeah, have fun with the rear enhaust manifold. it is a b----.

the exhaust is a pain because the probe is a little longer than our mx-3's so the exhaust bolts up a bit farther.

so on our cars, you have to cut some of your stock exhaust and reweld it to the pipes.

most just go to the muffler shop. It would cost roughly $50.

cheers.

I suppose this wouldn't be a great first project to attempt if i have little experience with engines and such eh? I'd love to turbo my car, faster is always better!
