Agreed, the Mani will be changed out in the next few months, but its what we got right now...
AEBS has a great reputation with there motor builds... I cant wait to see what we can get out of this motor...
Also the Turbo Kit is a Ultimate Racing kit (modified). All the core componets of the kit are still there, but all electronics were ditched and an EMS was put in its place.

The car is done at this point. I ended up changing the motors out because I had a smoking problem which I thought was the turbo. This is how I dynoed the car. I took the turbo off and saw that it wasn't the turbo. I then thought it was the valve seals because I had a local company rebuilt the head with a new spring setup, and they didn't use Honda valve seals. When I took the head off I saw that the sleeves were scored. I think this happened because I was messing around with the injectors before I really got the motor broken in, and at one point I had the injectors running the car completely open 100% of the time (1080cc injectors, and AEM C2DI ignition)
Anyways, I think that washed out the rings and caused the scoring.
I built another motor and put it in. The car runs great, and the motor has about 50 miles on it. I will take it out tomorrow and drive it around for a while, and try and get some mileage on it. I will probably do a street tune, and verify that everything is running well, and then post it up online for sale.
I would like to get around 30K for the car, if anyone is interested.
Alot of people say that is pretty low for what I have in the car, but I am trying to be realistic, and I think 30 is doable. 
Considering what the car has in it, it's a bargain.
