I learned that they were bursting due to high pressure, which is one of the leading causes of problems associated with honda engines and turbos. So I drilled 4 3/16 inch holes in the side of my turbo manifold.....thus releasing any kind of suction/pressure inside of it. Then I took a hacksaw and sawed my headers in half......making easier airflow (WHO NEEDS A 600 DOLLAR EXHAUST ANYWYAS) Make sure you have some back up parts just incase you mess something up....You can find em on EBAY for cheap,,,,,,,OR YOUR ENEMIES TURBO CIVIC FOR FREE!
Total Mods gave me 12 horsepower and 45 foot pounds!!!
word! i know what you mean! i was boosting my civic with air cylinders in the back and my manifolds bbursted several times. I had to basically add more alcohol to my fuel mixture to keep up woth the power. but recently i realized i needed and intercooler mounted to my turbo manifold which helps prevent that bursting of those manifolds!!!
