WOW.. i normally spend most of my time in the 2nd gen area but this is amazing
the t3/t4 is ancient.. but deadly!!! I have had a chance to play with the civic with a b16 and a t3/t4 with an fmic and that thing was UNBELIEVABLY fast... i can only imagine what yours is like...
what kind of boose are you running and have you had a chance to be on a dyno yet?

Hmmm...that's kinda weird, unless I am wrong. Isn't the turbo usually forcing the air directly into the manifold, instead of a pipe leading to the manifold? 
I am fairly novice when it comes to turbos, so I may be wrong..

(or in his case to a fmic and then to the manifold.)

Three Wheelin'
S L I C K...someone has finally proven that performance CAN be extracted out of the 2.5tl.
How did u get the soft blue lighting around the instrument cluster. All u would need are red lit needles to give it that VW instrument panel look (or 04Tl instrument cluster for that matter,)
Nice, job Boostntl, keep up the good work, but make sure you preserve the luxury identity of the TL at the same time!

Good points Longeye.
When looking for intakes on the 3.2 TL's, you're better off looking under 91-95 Legends. As mentioned make sure you know if you have Traction Control or not, as the intakes are slightly different.

wow... custom pipes for your TL was only $100? I thought it would have been way more. Do those pipes and that new muffler boost yor ride at all.. noticeably i mean?

I think I have seen this TL on Honda-tech. I called the shop I believe Nu Image about the setup if its the same car. I wish Boostntl would give us all some more info and reply to his thread. When I talked to the shop earlier this year they told me it was like a 7K setup since it was all custom fabricated. Ran 14s in the 1/4, had bad traction problems far as still spinning in 2nd, and needed to switch torque converters. I hope he reappears!! I'm thinking of getting a 93 Vigor 5 speed for 1K and doing something like this on the vigor or my own 2.5!!
