thanks , without any of your help and your ideas (just like the adj. wastegate, cut and weld the manifold), I wouldn't be at this far, probably I would have spend like 900+ for a custom manifold and O2 housing...

I don't get your question. Did you mean who? If that's what you meant, it's Malibujack idea and actually talked one of the guy from Forge and said it will work.

I'm almost ready to fire this **** up, but I am having trouble with my damn intake, not enough space under hood for it. Plus I still have to get my downpipe re-done.
Yea I bought the evo downpipe and im going to put a reduction from a 3" down to a 2 1/2" to make it fit right. Also I relocated the battery to the trunck so it wouldnt get in the way of the intake piping.
But I can't wit to hear from you when you start it up!!!!
Hope everything goes well

Well I was thinking to relocate my battery to my trunk, but if I do that, I won't able to go to dragstrip. Well I can't customize my downpipe until Monday because my College welding shop is close tomorrow which sucks for me, meaning I can't fire her up until Monday
.
Yea man, I bought the 16g6 on ebay like 5 months ago, and the evo maifold w/ the outlet also like you did. I just never figured out how to use the manifold until now, thanks to you.
I dont understand why you cant put your battery in the trunk
If you buy the relocator kit you should be able to do that.
Like I said before I cant wait for you to fire it up!!!! its gonna be so awsome.

Wheew, I finally figured out my intake fitting problem after buying so many stuff just to make it fit
. Well I actually build my own to custom fit intake which it turn out nice, I just have to paint it. Well muffler shop is close during weekends, which really sucks because all I need right now is my damn downpipe and I'm going to fire her up.

And the shut-off is required by NHRA if your battery is in the trunk, it has to be clearly visible and labeled outside the car.. Its a battery cut-off.. On my other car, its visible from the back of the car, but not easily spotted and doesnt come through the bumper or fender.. Check out the braille battery or Buschur mini-battery kit.. you'll be happier..
