'turbo kit that fits' ... I've never seen such a thing - where do you find these?

Soho, Momentum... Just to name a few.
My stuff fell in just fine. No pulling my engine, no hassle with lines burning up.

^ lol. It's always tight. This engine bay was not designed for all the extra parts. It's just the way it is. The BW turbos take up a good bit of space. Props to AAM for making it work and for the OP on the execution. Checking the install over after a few miles to find the issues is the only way to be certain everything has been routed safely. Good job. My turbo kit was built on the car, all custom by Dynosty, with low mounted turbos. It is still a very, very tight fit.

yeah, my greddys just dropped right in, practically installed themselves...after I
-spliced in flex hose in my test pipes
-removed the AC (completely)
-eliminated/re-routed my hot-side coolant pipe
-revised the pre & post intercooler ducts
-removed my MAF housing/sensor
-rerouted the power steering line

yeeaaaa...right in, can't believe people are having problems...imagine that!

In a perfect world, every kit would just drop right in... But it's not and things need adjusted. For someone else pulling their engine, it might be a pain. I however can have it pulled in no time. Doesn't even bother me any more. This kit will perform. Just need to work out a few kinks. This thread is to help others who venture to install themselves.

Have you installed a soho or momentum? Friend of mine installed a momentum and had nothing but issues with fitment. It's all gonna be hit or miss.

You're all acting as this is a common occurance of having to pull your engine 4-5 times to deal with fitment issues... It's not, but it is a common occurance with the AAM kit. I'm surprised they even let you install the kit yourself.
Meanz I know you're cool with it as I've seen you talking about having no problems but for the people that are slightly disheartened from turbos after seeing what you've been with, there are other options that don't do this. Let these two turds deal with fitment issues and act like it's life. Being tight and fitment issues are two WAY different things...

my greddy's had no issues.. all i did was swipe my credit card and it fit

HRMoneyPit

Definitely not okay. Especially for the 10k price tag lol


Turbos are cool and all. But I'll continue dreaming. Maybe some tubes tunes and cams then I'm done

Haha tuan your a troll now. Btw thanks for the help today. Z is up and running great. Took it for a nice long test drive. Hits boost great and pulls awesome. Turning this thing up is gonna be a blast! I'll try to make some vids soon to show some flybys.

HRMoneyPit

When are you getting it tuned?


How does it compare to the blower?

meanz

iTrader: (23)

Not sure on tune date, need to save up some money first. So far, the turbos feel great compared to the blower. It's def a lot of fun to have a lot of power at 3500 instead of having to rev it on out. I think it's gonna be better than the blower once it's running 100% turned up.
