Since it seems that you have been forewarned and still want to do it yourself, its really not rocket science so don't be discouraged....
GREAT. this is the kind of answers i want
You get a service manual first, get the crappy greddy manual, make sure you will have another ride for downtime and mishaps, and jump in since you already have the tools....
yes all that is covered, and i have downloaded all the pics of installation that i could get
....a couple of things that cross my mind at the moment:
If you have a lift, take the motor and tranny out the bottom.
from the bottom. allright. check
In addition to the kit, imo your bare minimums will be a BOV w/ flange, UTEC w/ map sensor, a/f gauge, and NGK 1 step colders. I'm sure theres also other tidbits like vacuum line, stuff to wire your a/f gauge...etc.
i have the greddy blue BOV´s , im getting the UTEC, doesent a mapsensor come with that?, hmm. a Air/fuel gauge,,ok will check that, and of course a PSI/bar gauge. colder sparks are on the way,,
does anybody have a nice idea of where i can have two gauges when my a Pillar is allready accuped?
Make sure you finish your shopping before you start, since running back and forth to the store, or even waiting for parts is awefully time consuming.
yes thats why im asking around first. becuse i cant get anything direcly from here in sweden. i must order everything,,and that takes days before i have the stuff at home
If you are disconnecting the steering column and dropping the motor out the bottom, make sure you don't turn it it at ALL! You'll get a slip light that can only be fixed at the dealer with a consult.
OH...can i avoid disconnecting the steering then??
AND most importantly make sure you have a way to tune your car before you even consider touching anything!
....there's alot of other things, but overall just make sure you pay attention to details, if you are really bad at this. Keep organized, and if you find that something is frustrating take a break and come back later and do it right. Don't halfa$$ anything. You will regret it later. Good luck!

wow, ive been lurking the forums for months and months at this point and wouldn't attempt to install a greddy setup on my own, primarily due to dealing with the tuning and not even the mechanical tidbits. Or at least I would take it to someone to tune after the installation.

Are you kidding me? To say that there is not a tuner that can install i simple tt kit on your car in sweden is total BS.. here are just a few tuning companys in sweden that would install that tt kit in a heartbeat.

Ok, but why buy a TT kit if you cant afford to have it installed? Installing it yourself without any mechanic skills what so ever is NOT a good idea.. you`re gonna blow the engine. My tip for you is too use the car as it is and save money so you can have it installed by a professional. but off course, its your car

Well.. if you´re a tuning company that knows how a engine works its not that hard to install, but if you´re a amateur with no mechanic skills, things can go very wrong and that will cost you ALOT more than having the kit installed by a tuning company. Sorry but thats just the way i think, just trying to help you avoid expensive trouble

i understand you but my friend have mecanic skills but just not FI.. and i wanted a step by step guide.. i just thought that all the owners of a TT Z33 ....somebody must have done it them self or have pics
Your looking for a magical pic by pic "tighten bolt here, insert this part here" sort of manual that does not exist, and if it does (which I don't think it does) , its probably incomplete by your standards, because anyone who would attempt this would have a general understanding of how a greddy turbo setup works or how a general turbo installation should function and look, so THEY WILL OMIT CERTAIN STEPS. Just as someone who is trying to teach you differential equations would skip certain steps that involve basic arithmetic when instructing you. In your case thou, you would need those basic steps becouse you have NO IDEA what your doing.
Honestly, best option for you is probably lurk the forums and READ REAR READ and READ every single greddy installation thread there is and then when you think you have a general understanding ask questions about stuff thats not clear, instead of wasting peoples time and asking for a pic by pic hold my f#%ing hand instruction manual that DOES NOT EXIST
