Hello, fellow civic owners.

I recently tried to swap the downpipe in my fk7 for a catted rv6 downpipe. Snapped the stud right off the turbo housing even after letting it soak in pb blaster the night before and the morning. Was reading some posts about how the crv/si turbos are a direct swap and ended up pulling the trigger on a 2019 crv turbo with 8k miles and will be doing the swap this weekend.

Has anyone done this swap before? If so, can someone chime in on what gaskets are needed to be replaced?

I know the gasket between the downpipe and turbo is reusable. Just don’t know which’s one. I would rather have it on hand then having to run to the store or wait three days because it is a special order.

mainly looking to see if the inlet, the gasket inbetween the turbo and the turbo housing held together by the clamp, oil feed, and the gasket on the opposite side of the oil feed (I’m guessing oil return?) are reusable. Any information will be greatly appreciated
