He was asking just because he already has the RRM header, and Jimmy has one as well. Jimmy's is not welded, at least I don't think it is. Welding the header to the up pipe prevents blown gaskets pre-turbo, which has been an issue WITH ALL RRM kits. Welding it the best way to get rid of this problem.

thanks jay. Yes he is correct, it is better to have it welded but it is entirely up to the guy who is using a rrm turbo.

Really great for those want to experience turbo. This is as cheap as you can get for a plug and play system. Others, you would have to do something custom and risk blowing your engine. Unless you have it tuned, which would cost the same way anyway. Why not do it yourself and have fun in the process? bump.

I mean it's plug and play that you don't have to tune it. The only thing with auto is how the piping is slightly different. I'm not sure how to address that though since I have manual.

How much do you guys looking for this? Usually I would give it lower than 3500 but you have to let me know and talk to me. No low blows and trades. I basically just need money. Pm me!

if all parts are there (meaning instructions, fittings, bolts, lines) then the kit is worth a good 2500-3000 bucks. but if its missing pieces, then 1200

Yah, like i said earlier, it's plug and play so every part is there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been running this for the last two months. Also, I am including a already tapped oil pan so...
