Cool The 1 Man Turbonetics Install

Well i started installing my kit on friday and i finished everything up last night around midnight. im proud to say i did everything on my own and its all working well, no rattles or vibration, fuel leaks, oil leaks, air leaks. the car does pull like everyone has been saying, i guess you just have to feel it to believe all the hype. the only things i had to 2 were trim a little off the headlight bracket to make the discharge fit without rubbing and trim about an inch off the inside air vent of the veilside bumper (right below the spearco writing) that was keeping the bumper pushed too far out at the bottom and not letting it line up right at the fenders. but its all good and im damn tired of working on this thing and ready to enjoy it. i do have a few pics to show, enjoy!

Nice to see another Veilside V3 body kit with an intercooler shining thru the front bumper. Install looks awesome. What fog lights are you running and where did you get them? Where is the switch located that turns them on/off?

I ordered everything through those guys, including my Turbonetics kit and where you missing anything in your kit like some of the other guys have been experiencing? Cause I opened the box, but didn't get indepth since I am planning to install later this month and didn't want to lose anything and for some strange reason when I take something out of box I have a hard time putting stuff back in the same way LOL.

Anyway it is good to know you did it on your own, I stopped using shops a long time ago and started to learn and buy tools of my own.

I hope that after I do mine, we can hit up the strip (Commerce, Reynolds, Steele) and see who is the quicker

PEKING ..... Where are you located in Georgia. I'm in Villa Rica ... If you're in the neighborhood, perhaps I can peep over your shoulder during your solo install.
