Yer, also still waiting on the test pipe, but my hpfp internals are shipped/about to ship. Ultimate racing been backed up and my eta is near December 21-23. Email guy is super polite and I'm just like, my car works and I don't want to put it on till hpfp internals are in. No rush, just want to...

Isn't the link you sent just for the secondary cat? If it's not I already got it. Either way I don't mind losing the resonator (the thingy circled in red), i really liked the sound

Kinda continuing the convo. At least for me I'm going to keep the resonator just because I don't have that much fun money after buying the rebuilt turbo :sweatsmile: but if I'm being honest I really loved the sound coming straight out. It may have been unrefined but it had a great grumble and...

I believe I have the vac lines on correctly, from wastegate to ebcs the vac line is connected closest to the connector, and the further is connected to the turbo inlet. I think this photo should help.

The ECU is the computer next to the battery right? I had to remove it for a lot of the work. Unless I'm mixing it up and it's the box under the passenger seat. Never actually checked under there or know if there's anything, just remember my '02 civic had something under there back then. If it's...

Not that I remember. I do remember using a pressure washer, carb cleaner, and brake cleaner, but I can double check when I get some time :)
