The process was a little tedious at times but the gains you get outweigh the install process . Pairing it with stage 3 93 tune and catless downpipe has made my accord a whole different car and would recommend this to anyone wanting more power and sound
I haven’t really been able to put this to the test on the track yet but there’s no doubt it’s a perfect fit and fits the style of my PRL tank. It feels high quality and I’m happy with that.
I live in the hot southeastern US, cooling is a concern for my DE5. I monitor temps & they are a few degrees cooler now & cool down is faster after harder runs.
Install was relatively easy since I have a turbo inlet pipe & intake installed. I used the spring kit with long clamps & zip ties to pull the springs under the turbo. I used wire on the elbow.
Do they work? I would say yes, I can touch them after a drive. It is still warm under there, that's the nature of the engine. I would say they work as advertised.
Two things: they will smoke/ smell for a few heat cycles & they will shrink to the shape of the turbo/elbow.
