The Greddy Kit has a 3 bolt triangular flange on both the manifold and turbine housing.

I have done a couple more things to the box. I could see a little fuel around the injector areas. Removed injectors and found all the injector o-rings sitting in the block were split.
Also the injectors are all hard wired ( soldered on). They are Honda and are 1/4" taller . Someone overtighenend the rail hence splitting the orings. Can now idles and runs fantastic.
Installed a billet grill to get some air in the engine compartment. Running around 6 psi of boost. I would love to replace the injectors with the zpi 370cc ones with new pigtails. Will talk to Kenny. I know some of the guys diss the auto but it really does an excellent job and goes well.

wow....buying a pre-owned car with an aftermarket turbo kit on it....

never a good idea.
I kinda agree with DetourAhead on this, I wouldn't say it's "NEVER a good idea" you can buy a good one, you just have to be really careful. Unfortunately I'm one of those cases where I made a mistake buying an xb with an aftermarket turbo, mostly because mine was a custom prototype job. I ended up having to pay lots of money to get it done right. I think the person that eventually buys my xb (yes it's for sale) will be one of those that got a great aftermarket turbo setup. Anyway, good luck on your car!
