Basicly there are two type of headers. Ones that bolt straight to the exhaust ports of the engine and lead out to the exhaust system. While the turbo headers also bolt to the exhaust ports of the engine BUT lead out to the turbo's exhaust port and on to the downpipe that goes to the exhaust system.
Gee, I hope I said that right, sorry if I lost you. If not, I guess we both will get flamed on.

I also have the Kamikaze header. This header will not work with the RRM turbo kit. You supposably have to dent the header in order for the turbo to fit properly. So, eventually I also will be buying the RRM header so I do not have a dented header.
Here is the number one problem with the Kamikaze header. Look at where the collector (the bottom where all the pipes come thogether) ends up on it. Right in the middle. There is not enough room on the left side of the header (because of the A/C and powersteering) to get a downpipe off the turbo in there. RRM and the factory manifolds come down and to the right a little bit and just enough to sneak a downpipe in there on the left.
