Yep, you'll have to get an RHD downpipe. $50 for a downpipe is a killer deal.

If you have the Ebay cheapo downpipe/midpipe, I'll warn you that the midpipe may have some fit problems. No reason you can't get the car on the road with it, but you may have to address that later. I would also seriously think about sending the downpipe to get ceramic coated - reduces heat BIG TIME in the engine bay, and now's the time to do it. I think I paid $100 or so for Jet-Hot 2000 deg. coating, well worth it.

Everything looks good. I wouldn't go wild on the aftermarket blowoff valve - the stock BOV flows and responds great. Only real reason for an aftermarket BOV on an FD is for the sound and sometimes easier fit with a single turbo.


Also, IMHO, the SS OMP lines are a waste of money. The stock lines work great, and IMHO the SS lines will be crappy looking too with 10 years of use and many miles on them. Also, braided stainless can rub through ANYTHING, and I'm VERY careful using it. I've seen it eat through metal oil lines, wiring, hoses, and even another SS line. I just don't think you get your bang for the buck there.
