If I recall, the Kamikaze header are long length runners like the RPW setup which removes the stock manifold/cat assembly so no, it would not work as Road Race's kit needs that stock assembly or their header to bolt up to the return pipe which feed the turbo.

correct me if im wrong ok. having an up pipe to the turbo. vs. having a turbo manifold. would'nt it be better to have a turbo manifold. power is right away delivered to the turbo rather than it going up to the up pipe.

Yes, the up pipe is less efficient. No the Kamikaze header will not work without serious modification. At that point you may as well have an equal length manifold fabricated for optimal spooling.

I had the same thought a while back. The flanges are different, 2 bolt RRM 3 bolt kamikaze. If you look at RRM's header it is a clone of the factory manifold as far as shape goes. The runners go down and to the right just a bit. The Kamikaze's all go to the middle which seriously makes it difficult to put piping for a up or down pipe on the left side next to the AC and both will not fit on the right side. Not to mention I do believe that Kamikaze comes out farther from the block too making it next to impossible to retain a Kamikaze header if you were to go turbo, it would have to be modified beyond recognition, I dont know about you but I dont like the thought of cutting up $260.

from what i understand the only header options for the rrm are rrm itself or the rmr header witch would require some brakets being welded on but i dont know if the rmr header still exisits last i head the built 2 and only 2
