Turbo manifold replaces the header.

With the new charge piping of the turbo set-up, you'll ditch your old intake unless it's a CAI.

Asking if a turbo manifold replaces the header is like asking "i want new rims but can i still use my old rims to? Is there an adpater for that?" That's why everyone is flaming you.

if your asking questions, you still have a lot of research to do. I know a bunch of turbo accord guys and you really sound like you have no clue what involved with a turbo setup. Do you even know what managment system you are going to use? do you even know what a managment system is used for? do you know what type of injectors you will be using? do you know how much boost you are going to be running? do you know how much you can safely boost before you toast your engine? do you know that your going to have to have your car tuned after you have your setup installed?
not everyone is a mechanic, but you should have a basic understanding of what's involved with a turbo setup and if your asking the question you just asked us, you sound like a newb that has no clue what's involved. I can post up a link to notoriousB's motor build thread. He's on his 4th F23, he fried the first 3 because the stock internals couldn't handle the boost he was running. now he's got a fully built motor with pistons/rings/rods and he's got about 300+whp. its taken him about 2 years to get the car running right. you should read his thread from begining to start and you'll realize what's involved with a turbo project. It cost lost of money, it takes a lot of time, and it can be very frustrating, but yet very rewarding.
here is the link, read the whole thing and after you read it you'll understand why people are flaming you for asking that question.(there are close to 600post, but read them all. its very educational)

If we spoon fed you all the informaion you needed to know about turbochargers starting from this point you would have thousands of posts and piss off this entire forum. Like what was already said once, use the search feature on this site, and google, and anywhere else you can think of. We aren't going to do your work for you.

We should have MODS put up a search link before msgs are posted. That way it will search the subject line for any posts. That way we could eliminate these repetitive posts. Trust me the search button if your friend.

likewise, it could be that youre not worth other peoples' time, either. he's pointing out the fact that a lot of the questions youre asking have already been asked/answered either somewhere on the board or definitely online. if you were even remotely serious about going FI, then you should find enough motivation to go study up. if the slightest hint of needing to do some 'homework' frightens you or gets you all defensive, this is NOT a project you want to start for yourself.

i dont know everything, so when im tryin to learn something new i go out there and look for information. if i cant find anything useful, i'll turn to everyone else. dont be lazy. dont get defensive and act like a 4 yr old. do a search and learn something new. once youve found yourself some background info, it'll be easier for us to talk to you. otherwise all this new info youre getting will fly right over you anyhow.
