If I get the rev hard tubo kit will I need an intake and a header. I just want to know so I can save a few bucks.

Thanks

do some research, going turbo removes your header and replaces it with a turbo manifold and you will not use an intake that is designed to go with your intake manifold, but you can get a custom one for the turbo itself. I suggest researching what going turbo means and does.

i'm 100% with him. you need to understand alot more than you seem to before you just throw a turbo at your car. if you don't have a solid grasp of the basics at the very least, you'll never be able to make it worthwile. you'll spend 4 grand and end up with 220whp. trust me that's a colossal waste. study, study, study.

yup yup. theres alot of info on here about revhard, even a diy. He answered your question though no for the header, for the intake you will need a filter for the intake other than that it comes with everything else. Last time i check revhard closed down, just saying cause i tried to order a new down pipe and Corsportusa told me they were no longer in business. Plus i called them and they never answered. go figure...

Not sure I believe this. I had mine wrapped the whole time, and it never gave me any trouble.

i didnt either. i thought it was either the engine movement or the torque damper fucking up that caused it at one point(too much wheel hop) what ever caused it, it hasnt happened again yet! He said it cracked because it was heated up and cooled too rapidly or some shit like that in that process. When i think about it in my mind it could of been all of that. eh im just happy its fixed and im back on the streets boosting and murduring v8s!!!!! muhahaha! Revhard 12psi 4 the win!

If its stainless I would. Heat wrap attracts moisture so it will eventually rust a mild steel DP to the thickness of paper lol.

i dont know. i never got dynoed. Back when i was on 12psi with a 2.5 test pipe and 60mm exhaust and tuned by mike @ elite he said i should be in the 250-270 range plus im at a high altitude and thats killin me. Now im on a 76mm skunk2 exhaust all the way from the 2.5 downpipe and thats a hella lot better flow. though i added more stuff to it that threw my tune off im in the need of a new tune but i would say my power level should be no less than 270 now maybe +/-
