Heat wrap everything and you will not hear any vibrations... You will love the kit. the directions suck so if you run into any problems (you will). shoot me a pm, i did the install on mine and should be able to help.

thanx bro, but it was a hell of a struggle to get it here(customs,shipping and all) and it's suppose to be to easy part. don't wanna get ahead of myself(fitment and run first)-my only fitment concern(not major) is that the headers is not the same as in a LHD. this is one of the reason i did not go twin. locally tt aps RHD versions rule but would cost twice as much $$$ at the dealers. but i might just give them a run for their money, lol.

converting to RHD wasn't that easy. was going to finish on Friday but ended up changing more piping. SyperZ extended down pipe didn't work for me..... so ended up changing all turbo out piping except down pipe with lamda sensors, which worked better extending into the duel exhaust.
on the up side more changes was done bc piping from manifold ended up with a slight bend towards the starter..which could not be relocated to the right cause of steering rack. just changing the bend made piping to restrictive so the whole thing was rerouted.

OP- i think the kit u got was one of the pre-proution pl gt37 kits and i know there were some fitment issue with that one, i could be wrong but i remember it being an even tighter fit than usual. maybe im thinking about a differnt member who had the pl37kit

so i had a real rough time with my install....about everything that can go wrong did. do a few runs and something craps out. so after rebuild clutch, numerous piping changes, boost controller replaced, new timing chains, rough idling/stalling(fixed) and still waiting on better fuel pump...we managed to do some tuning while still figuring the utec(thanx athenG for the pointers). here is some numbers to 6000rpm at just over 11psi....i know fuel is still a little lean and timing from 4250rpm is to conservative but waiting on the new pump. the single walbro can't keep up after 6000rpm so all is on hold for now. excuse the pics mates, I don't have a scanner.

wiseco 8.5/eagle rods, bc st2 cams,+1mm valves, spring and retainer ported flowed head, arp studs,acl bearings and kinetix intake manifold. still busy configuring a better fuel system. turned the manual boost controller all the way down(0.2bar).....362whp. almost certain it will make +550whp 12psi on 7000rpm run. but running utec and 600cc injectors(inj duty already 85% on 6000rpm run 11psi) i might only do 10psi.
