I'd get rid of that dryer hose, specially where it's used as charge pipe. If you want good pipes fabricated and welded let me know. I can surely do that for you :)

holy crap.
well yea, props for first try. Id replace the flex sections asap, and if you have any doubts on anything else ask before you run it anymore!

what injectors, fuel control do you have? Did you modify the map sensor? And what turbo ya running? Had many turbo honda projects back in the day at our garage...if you needs parts or a built motor let me know, have a complete setup just sitting.

Yea, if you do want some nice discharge pipe fabbed up let me know

If your just running a few pounds of boost you might be able to get a way with that piping for a little while. Speaking of which, how much boost are you running?
I just did my first turbo system last winter so I'm not to far a head of ya. :)

No boost or FMU right now, I just put that piping to get it started. Other than all the rest of the setup Im going to have scott fine tune everything piping and FMU when its ready for tune in august.

I'm looking forward to helping you out on your turbo car. Did you buy some drag radials yet??

An fmu?!?! seriously?!?! I can't believe they still sell those pieces of garbage.

Like Drifte and JJ said, MAP hack time. Could also chip the stock ECM, very easy to do, but more complicated to tune.

as far as I know a full ecu tune will be done, no fmu

as far as fmu's go, don't like them becouse they make the car inconsistant, but we have built many cars that have been very fast with fmu's
