mark, hope i was able to help out, you were fast installing it... i think for how tight it is it shows how well fabbed the kit is with all that big piping . You have experience with turbo kits on other platforms so i am sure you were impressed, i cant wait for you to post the pictures .....just down to the bov!!!!

Ok well...ill post up actual install pics tomorrow..im SO damn tired. Final impression...EXTREMELY tight fit, excellent quality(unbelievable quality actually) instructions were useless,and it does require an aftermarket overflow tank, haha..other than that it was a very simple, big pain in the ***. Im going to take it apart again tomorrow and mess with the up pipes to see if I can get the exhaust to meet up with the down pipe and also get the downpipe off the floorpan. Here are some pics(im gonna do it backwords) and the video wont load on youtube for some reason.

I can tell you (like they told me) theres absolutely no way of getting an airfilter on this turbo. Im gonna check again tonight to see if its possible to relocate the radiator over a couple of inches. Like I said..as soon as I finish everything up ill put all the pictures up..I just dont have time yet..im either working or working on the car.
Also, no matter what I tried to do..I could not get the AC line to snap in under the windshield.

There's no air filter on this kit? At all? I would check out siliconeintakes.com and see if you can squeeze something on... Even if you use a reducer to squeeze through, I doubt for a short length it will have any impact on performance.
That looks like waaaay to much work. Kudos man. And good luck with the rest.
PS. My guess for the heater hose is for driver's side CCV hook up to air inlet? (that's a wild guess)

Yeah I spoke with quicksilver late lastnight. That heater hose along with the windage tray spacers are for REVUP engines only. They werent needed on my car.
