Sweeeeet. Can't wait to see the final install pics. Looks great in a box though.

I wasn't aware it came with a K&N filter.

Yeah, also was thinking that they would maybe use to ship in a couple of big boxes not many small ones

.....LOL.. ....The kit is shipped in one large well packed card board box. What you see in the pics is the components awaiting install from our parts shelves. Sorry, I had no time to spread them out on the floor.

Here are a few more pics......

I just can't imagine having a hot *** turbo next to all those wires and stuff. Is there more space than the photo shows?

....Wires will be routed away from the turbo as far as possible. There is also a heat shield cover that's not in place yet.

Haha, we are missing a 2.5" v-band clamp. Should receive it Tuesday although I might can get one in town locally.

LOL good to know, also looking like a great start even if missing a small part... Umm... you think that maybe in one of the next pics can you also show the spots you used to lift the car?

...This was after 12.00 Saturday we realized it was missing, Napa and others were closed, tried all.

...News break..... We are fabing something we think will work for this pipe to pipe fitting( Coty your the man ), he will inform me in the morning if we're good to go.
We have some grips on placement of wires, power steering cooler etc. We will detail when completed...

Lastly, this kit is one you don't want to do in your garage, you need a lift, and at least a mid level of mechanical ability with some fabrication experience. JM-2 cents

just wondering, is there any support for the turbo? if so, is the turbo bolted on to the block for support? Do you know the size of the tubing from the oem headers to the turbo?

It doesn't look likes it needs one. I had a turbo kit on my 3G eclipse sat right where this one is and no problems. Not even close to quality as Turbonetics.
