To those that are in the middle of installing the kit, or to those that might have recently received it, can you check the coupler that connects the TB to the intercooler pipe and check the diameters/length/and whether it is a "straight" or "hump" type? I need to find a replacement that is slightly longer, but same diameters and type. thx.

Got mine from GTM & had a few issues with them not shipping when they were supposed to & also ignoring emails and pms
Tightened all my belts last night, started the car & it ran sweetley - give it a small rev and it cut out & after that it wouldnt start at all Luckily it was just a loose intercooler pipe
Real excited now, goes for tuning on may 1st

Are you using the provided fcon? or do you have your own management system?

Just letting everyone know that I have contacted GTM regarding the kit that I have sold ITOzann (for the third time) and they have clarified the reason why the serial number does not match the one in marbles' build thread.
The reason why is because Marbles' car was the first to successfully receive the 85mm pulley as well as there modified blower unit, this was not achieved in a single installation. Sam from GTM has informed me that Marbles car went through a series of unsuccessful trials and as many as 10, yes 10, different superchargers as well as brackets and pulleys were damaged or completely destroyed throughout the process!
P.S.
I wish u the best of luck with ur build and please refrain from accusing my sale as being a SCAM in the future, ur accusations are flimsy at best. If u have any further questions or concerns feel free to send me a PM or contact Sam at GTM he told me this would be ok.

I'm really over it up to this point on what is true or not since any data will not be able to be proven by real facts other than statements either from you or Sam. Since I have the kit installed in my car, whatever statement I hear from you or Sam to this point will mean nothing to me. I've measured the pulley I received(90ishmm) with the kit and after the tune, the facts lead that the kit I purchased is a regular hks kit. I've moved on long ago and decided to deal with my situation on my own(enjoy the car the way it is now). I'm not willing or looking to win an argument with you. Up to now, I learned my lesson and that's pretty much it.
Now, don't come here as a victim and complain like a biatch! No one is bothering you or being **** with you calling you SCAMMER. I expressed my experience and the data I've gathered. The kit was advertised as a stage 5 when I purchased and I bought it from you. Up to this point there is nothing that supports the fact the this kit is an stage 5 other than the story between you and Sam. In addition the kit was not complete as advertised when I received it... even with all that, I haven't asked anything back from you other than help me get a 85mm pulley out from SAM. which you told me that was not gonna happen... you trully are a shame! --.--

Yes, that helps. Thank you. So it is called a transition hose and its good there is a part number. Appartently HKSUSA, after receiving my serial number and part number for my SC, said that since my kit is a revup special order, even the silicone couplers are jdm and is not available direct from HKSUSA So, I doubt HKSUSA is ready to admit that the revup and non revup brackets might be the same, when they think that even the silicone couplers are different!
Anyways, after I installed a replacement Cosworth plenum (newer casting), the transition hose is a bit too short. So, I need to get a slighly larger one. So it is 80-60 mm (I assume that is 2.5 and 3.0 inches?). Unfortunately, it doesn't mention length for the transition hose. I should probably just take it off my car and measure it.

Ok here I what I think the Differences are related to the Non-RevUp De to the RevUp De.
1.The engine management was designed to work with the DE only.
2.Not all RevUp’s have the Second Idler/Fan Pulley. There are Two Belt layouts for the RevUp.
Layout 1:
Layout 2: Notice the Second Idler/Fan Pulley/
HKS Belt layout:
I do personally feel that the Brackets are 100% the same. I would recommend that if you are going to be installing it on a RevUp.
1. You first look and see if you have the Second Idler/Fan Pulley in Layout 2. If not you will need to get the missing parts from a older model Z.
2. Plan to get a engine management system
Brackets from both Non-RevUp and RevUp (Mine)

Again these are my own personal findings after seeing both kits. I am in no way saying it will work 100%, just pointing out my own observations after reading all the threads.
Now also keep in mind GTM Sales a "GTM HKS JDM GT Supercharger Tuner System"

I don't think that setup is going to work with the HKS kits due to how the intercooler sits in the front grill. I don't think this will allow for any piping to come through.
It's looking great Ian!!!!!! Bet you can't wait to get it all tuned and ready to drive! How long did it take you all up??
To the people that already have them installed and ready to go, we need some drive by videos!!!!!!
