if you buy the gasket then install it your self. i popped my hood open and looked at it. i know i can do it in about 2hrs time but the question is do i want to???
I have done Turbo installs on Audi 1.8T's in the past first one took 6 hrs after my 3rd one i got it down to 3hrs. but it was not fun!!!! i don't think i am up for that type of fun with this gasket

This mod takes time, but once it is done, its nice to have and know its there.

I thought it was a 2 hour job too. It ended up being 6-8 including trips to the store to get the right tools for the job. Really to do the job right you should also get:
1) Crush washers for the fuel inlet
2) Injector 0-rings
3) O-ring for the IAC
4) O-ring for the water inlet.
I just bought another one of these for my Civic, Hondata's making the new ones blue. Kind of wish my S2K one was blue.

So you were able to get at the bolts without removing the fuel rail? That's good to know. Water inlet seemed to be covering one of the last two manifold bolts.

i installed one on my friend 00 SI, before you couldn't touch the IM when running and after you could, it was just a little warm. big difference, he said he felt it easier to climb high speeds 100+
