Well I got the kit and it's installed. Everything fit perfectly. There wasn't any sort of leaks what so ever after the install was done. Im veryyyy happy with the kit. Apexi did an excellent job designing it. We couldn't get it dyno tuned yesterday b/c none of the dyno's aroud here were open but we did put my tuners wideband in and went out and street tuned it. The A/F's are great and it runs awesome! It's currently at 8lbs and the motor is 100% stock. For those of you who haven't seen my other threads, the motor is a d16 jdm zc vtec and the car's a '00 EX (I blew up the y8 a while back). I got this kit in trade of my full B16A swap with an ITR trans and ITR cams. The kit's been used by 2 people before me but has been VERY well taken care of. The turbo has absolutely 0! shaft play. It's the tightest turbo I've ever felt. Anyway, I'll have pics up hopefully later today or tonight. Check back.

I always wanted to know how the Apexi kit felt like. But never had the chance to grab one before it was discontinued. So I just went with a ramhorn and a t3t4.

Thanks man, yea I always try and treat my motors right. Im very weird about oil...like I change it no later than 2500 miles. The motor feels reallly strong right now. I ran my buddies GSR last night that runs 14.2's all motor. He was on about a 40 shot last night and he only pulled on me by about a car and a half. VTEC is to high still. We haven't gotten her on the dyno but Im pretty sure 5300 is to high on a boosted D, especially with this small of a turbo. So I think it has even more power hidden in there at the same boost level.
