Default To trust or not to trust?

im trying to find a 2.5" 4-bolt exit down pipe with recirculated dump. and of course the requires that the waste gate flange needs to be situated on the manifold so they line up properly. ive been digging in the classifieds and havent really come up with anything.

so i took my search elsewhere. froogle.com to be exact and it came up with this little package that looks like it would work well, but i dont really trust anything that i dont find from these forums or any other renowned companies site. so provided here http://www.protuninglab.com/tukitsctc04.html is the link for the package. and what im asking for is some opinions on if this is any good for some one to just reaffirm my beliefs in being a iffy about random sites.

or if anyone could let me know if they have what im looking for or know someone that does that would be wonderful as well

btw this is what it looks like

i figured as much, but im passed this now. to make my life easier im going to just get a dezod 5-bolt downpipe and cut off the flange and get 4-bolt flange welded on, that way i can just go along with my original plan of building the dezod s1 kit....except now with custom downpipe.

By jut cutting the flange doesn't mean it will bolt up right after you weld the new flange. Just go to an exhaust shop and have one made it should cost that much. And as for ye manifold get it custom made. That's why I did I paid 700 for custom 2.75 down pipe with flex pipe and donpipe and custom tube manifold. It's better like that. And pls your different.

Different = MORE $$$

I can't speak on the quality of the components you linked, they look nice enough but who knows! Everything looks nice until exhaust gas hits it then all that goes out the window.

Custom work is nice but if something goes wrong with something that is custom there aren't any universal parts to fix custom work....just an FYI.

well theres nothin too too custom about it, im just going to get the dezod downpipe and replace the flange that attached to the turbo with a 4-bolt flange, because the turbo i have is 4 bolt and their down pipe is 5-bolt. it will just make things incredibly easier on me instead of doing the guess work of finding a mani and a down pipe to go with it that has a recirculated dump that lines up where the mani puts the waste gate.

even easier would be just to get a regular 4-bolt exit DP and run open dump, but i dont want all that noise
