Good to see more people going custom, gives you a little advantage when it comes to choosing your parts, as far the manifold that was the biggest herdle i had as well, but in the hend all worked out fine. as far as injectors, i used DSM blue tops 450cc they needed a Evo Perfomance fuel rail wich i bought from Perrin, and that working out fine, but if you do your homework you should be fine.

i called rrm the other day and they said its about 4500 shipped. freakin expensive man. i want a group buy lol.

honestly now, how many of u guys seriously would be interested and have the money to get one within this summer? alot of people always say they are willing but when time comes they back out. maybe if we get a couple of serious buyers, rock might consider doing a group buy.

out of all the company i order parts from (i have about 2-3 boxes arriving a week to my house for parts for my car and other cars in the family or for friends) RRM has one of the best protective packing methods i've seen. I would gladly pay the extra buck for shipping, than have my parts come dented...

I won't be going turbo for a good year or two. I want to perfect my part selection, and do as much research as possible. I'm new to turbo'ed cars so i want to make sure i cover all the bases first before i step up to buying. However i will be purchasing parts over time as well. Modern if you have some free time, and want to help a bro out. I have some questions for you, and would love to discuss your kit over AIM or something. PM me (my AIM is bruce988jl as well) or get me on AIM if you're free. Thanks in advance.

As far as buying the RRM kit, i'd much rather buy just their manifold, i like the feeling of choices, and well yes RRM's kit is bulletproof as far as compatibility but the feeling of knowing that you put a kit together yourself is something i enjoy. Plus i can't afford 4500$ right now, maybe over time.. haha payment plan? haha

Everything I've got from RRM has come just thrown in a box with no packing stuff or anything and all the bolts are just thrown in so when there is a hole in the box all the bolts are gone.

I actually had lots of bolts and stuff missing in my packages... but none of them were important and could be replaced by shops. Although it is a little frustrating to see that a few bolts here and there as you empty the box
