i looked it up and found more posts about turbine housings than i did headers.

I'm pretty much decided on my turbo, it'll be a S14 T28 or a GTI-R T28.

My real question is who sells a CA18DET equal length turbo header?

I see stuff like THIS on ebay, but i'm wary of buying some bunk header, mainly cuz it has to hold up to boost.

i have a Ebay manifold sitting next to me, Its not bad, but its not great, you cant really complaing for a 250$ SS tubular manifold. im short on cash so this one will work till this fall. then im goin to try to get fullrace to build one.

also im goin to test fit this manifold tomorrow, i will post picts of the fitment and more of its craftmanship or lack there of.

thanks, i hope the ebay manifold works out.

i think i have plenty of time to decide. i really want to do the turbo, injectors, fmic manifold and downpipe/exhaust all at once.

I've looked on different boards about turbos. one board likes the GT2530's or the GT28s, another seems partial to T3/T4 hybrids, and a US site likes the 16G mitsu turbos. it's hard to choose with that many options. hahaha. i guess i'll keep looking, although the 16G's and T28's would be cheaper to find cuz you can get plenty used.

I'd stick with a T/GT series turbo. You'd have to have a weird custom downpipe made to use them. I don't like their turbine outlet design...

I'm a little confused. the T/GT turbos need a custom DP or the 16G's? i'm thinking the 16G's right?

I saw a GT2530 for cheap and i let it go without even knowing what it was. DAMN.
